World Record Hail: Water Droplet To Wrecking Ball

The video explores the phenomenon of hail, its formation, and the significant damage it causes annually. It features a visit to a research lab where scientists study hailstones using 3D printing and advanced testing methods. The lab aims to understand hailstone growth and develop better construction materials to mitigate damage. The video also discusses historical and modern efforts to prevent hail damage, including cloud seeding. Finally, it provides safety tips for drivers caught in hailstorms.
