Check this out! I've seen hailstorms in my life, but never something like this. To imagine that Bogota is really close to the Equator and THIS is happening? Hail that comes down in FEET?!?!?!   BBC World video of Bogota freak Hail Storm |

YEAH .... I'm fine .... but .... "typically" .... I think the media are blowing this hail thing right out of all proportion. Early yesterday afternoon we had a moderate to heavy downpour .... which was accompanied by "a little hail" .... but .... not much else. It was nothing .... and nobody here (that I'm aware of at least) even gave it a 2nd thought. In fact it's quite common around this time of year. I really tend to think the Global Warming/Climate Change lobbiest use these situations to try'n further attention to their cause .... but .... that's just my view !  Mark C BOG/CO |

Hey Mark
Thunderstorms are like that, they'll dump a little hail in one area, then pound another area like Hades..the BBC video shows it really deep in parts. CNN has another video on their site showing this storm.
