"Baseball-size hail" and tornado hitting outside Oklahoma City.
Hope any DU'ers out there are doing alright.

Looks pretty nasty from the video they're showing on MSNBC.

4. I've been awake too long, misread that as "Basketball-size hail"
Glad I was wrong. Doesn't make that any less dangerous though.

5. That would be some insane hail!!! Good thing it's not that bad, but baseballs of ice aren't a very
nice thing when they meet your windshield or body. Time to break out the bike helmet!

6. Why would you ride a bike
in a hail storm?

7. You don't get out of that basement much, do you?
Hailstorms are not widespread all-day events. They come up suddenly. So you can be out riding your bike on a blustery spring day, get overtaken by a thunderstorm, and then hail can start raining down on you.

It's simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But then you knew that, didn't you?
