In 2006 I was in Northfield, MN, USA and a freak storm hit. At first it was just small pieces of hail. But then we started hearing these lower toned pops and saw that softball size hail was starting to fall. After about 15 minutes it was over and almost every car in the parking lot was totaled. Ice was embedded 6 inches into the ground, sapling trees were snapped in half. My managers rental cars' back and front window was smashed and ice went through the speaker in the back and into the trunk. Absolutely the most destructive weather Ive ever experienced first hand.

Im a collector of useless information. A walking garbage can of senseless stories, fact and numbers. Makes for good drinking conversation. I tend to share too much so feel free to tell me to shut up.

ice hockey, collecting vinyl, good beer (especially IPAs and Pale Ales) and doing anything out of the ordinary [that doesnt involve me waking up with missing body parts and/or wallet or other personal affects].
