Over a Foot of Hail Swamps New Mexico Town

A lone thunderstorm dumped over a foot of hail in the town of Santa Rosa, N.M. Wednesday evening, leaving a surreal sight the day before the Fourth of July.

Photos from the Santa Rosa Fire Department showed snow plows clearing city streets clogged with accumulated hail drifts.

According to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, hail up to golfball size pelted the city around 6:00 p.m. MDT.

Skylights were damaged and a roof was partially collapsed in the city of approximately 2,800 residents, about 105 miles east of Albuquerque, according to a report from the Albuquerque Journal.

Obama says this is caused by global warming. I've never seen warm hail. Oh, that's called rain. O'Malley will now come up with a hail tax.

1:47 is alarming people. Oh. Thats right. The U.S. Navy brags that they will "control the weather" by the year 2020. And I don't think they plan to do it with magic or hocus pocus. HAARP is THE machinery and technology designed to do just that. When is the last time anyone saw a foot of hail in New Mexico in July???
