Occurred on July 29, 2018 / Hillrose, Colorado, USA
Info from Licensor: "I was driving back from Denver and heard tornado warnings on the radio and a nasty storm brewing. Wind like I had never experienced started intensely and relentlessly hitting the driver side of the car. Hail started slamming into the side windows along with small wooden debris. My side window was starting to worry me with the hail and debris coming in sideways. Instead of taking the chance of the vehicle flipping or a driver side window breaking, I got in the driver seat and backed the vehicle up and pointed the front into the wind thinking the aerodynamics would allow the wind to fly over easier. I got the vehicle situated where I thought "Ok, that’s about all I can do." I jumped behind the seats in back and covered myself with anything I could find, scared out of my mind. Wind, hail and debris quit hitting the driver side but now the front was exposed to all that. The window started taking a major beating from very large hail and cracking at a rate where I thought it was going to break any moment. Hail was still coming down very relentlessly and that is when I started filming. I credit the good people in this area for hooking me up with a hotel and fixing my window!"
