This is what was on the ground where we put in at. We were so lucky that the hail did go north of where we were kayaking. We had no protection. We would have had to get to shore and use the kayaks. As you know hail storms don't last long but they are brutal. This was in Great Falls, about 30-40 miles away: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=391894288120062 It covered a big swath though.
