(Before It's News)

What are these mysterious white streaks in the dark gray sky of Colorado on May 2016?

Those are incredible hail streaks created by hailstones falling to the ground in Colorado Springs.

But why does it look this way actually?

The Craziest Hail You Have Ever Seen

A hail storm near Colorado Springs, Colorado, on May 10, 2016, produced strange white streaks in the sky.

The white streaks are caused by hail falling out of a strong thunderstorm as the storm moves.

The movement of the storm, combined with the sun breaking through the clouds and reflecting off the falling hail, creates the awesome contrast.

Hail streaks typically produce a long but thin line of damage on the ground. In this case, hail as large as 1.25 inches in diamater, equivalent to a half dollar, fell near Colorado Springs.

    More nonsense. I’ve seen hail the size of golfbals over 20 years ago. Nothing Apocalyptic about it but W/E! Spelling isn’t your strong point either I guess.

    • There you go, the CLOWN JACKO, debunked the weather phenomenon… jacko, now go back put your tinfoil hat and watch CNN/FOX.

  • creepy pictures in the clouds. Or is that just pariola taking place?

  • The lines in the sky are NOT called hail streaks. Hail streaks are the thin long band of hail on the ground. Look it up.

  • Time is short, please accept Jesus/Yeshua into your heart. Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life. so shall it be!
