Did we ever find a picture of the 3-4 feet of hail in Mexico City?
I went looking for that thread and can't find it...
Wanted to show my wife

2. Don't worry, next time will stick to not posting what CNN does not pick up
And if I do, will keep it in metric...you can do your conversion.
But Rhandhi rhodes is correct, if it's not on your tv, it never happened.

5. If it was 3-4 ft of hail wouldn't a local newspaper or tv station have reported it?
This would be an amazing event I would think.
Response to seaglass (Reply #5)We should do our own conversions, since nadin meters only have sixty centimeters.

7. It was on teleformula
The block or so with that..they showed it, reported it at a meter...they also said polanco and palmas got concentrations of half a meter...and the rest in centimeters.
But since CNN did not pick on it, it never happened.
Oh and for some strange reason teleformula, which I quoted, does not do YouTube uploads that I coud find
Suffice I to say, after this I will post in metric when applicable, if. Even chose to post it. If it's not on your tv, it did no happen...never mind I was ten minutes from the worst affected area, and the taxi driver was forced to take an alterate route since the road to the airport was closed due to yes, ice.
Response to nadinbrzezinski (Reply #7)Ergo, it did not happen.

12. Are there no newspapers? Your line about CNN is silly. There are a lot of events
in my state and in my town that happen that are not on CNN - but if it is current info there are going to be newspaper links, TV links, amateur photo links etc.
No matter what CNN thinks, 3-4 ft of hail is A LOT. It makes absolutely no sense that there wouldn't be evidence that this occurred.

14. I posted those, but that's ok
I discovered just how right Rhandhi Rhodes is in that.
I went and found something else of interest in climactic change, but won't bother posting it here. It really does not matter. (Well it does, but not fit for here)

6. Since you also posted there are 60cm in a meter
Keeping it metric might not be a good idea either.

9. 3 or 4 feet of hail would get local coverage at least.
You'd think there would be at least one picture of such a meteorological sight.

10. Actually that is a blog
But that's ok. I deleted it because if CNN does not pick on a story it never happened, even when it affected tens of thousands, led to twelve injuries, and a market roof collapse, and a major road closure.
Don't worry, it isn't on CNN it never happened.
So won't bother with posting reports from reporters in the field demonstrating depth either.
If CNN did not pick on it, it really never happened.

13. I'd be curoius to learn the facts.
Please don't hide facts from us just because,... well, frankly I don't understand what kind of point you're trying to make by hiding information. Do we at DU really need to be protected from reality? And is that your job? Shouldn't we be openly sharing information in an effort to combat the kind of censorship we so dislike at places like Fox and CNN instead of collaborating with them to keep it hidden?

28. ALI am not distorting a thing
Reporter said from the field UN metro de concentración de hielo.
I guess it is my fault they did not upload video to YouTube. Alas they did not.
By the way I made a mistake with the metric system. I was running a 38.8 centigrade temp at the time. We are all human. Right now it s down to 37.6... Yes, my thermometer is set to centigrade. So that is life...feel free to convert, or not. Suffice I to say IT IS HIGH. I am not perfect, but won't bother posting any weird weather event again. Especially one that happens in a foreign country.
Don't worry will post, offsite mind you, what I found of the frequency of these events, which matters...but not here. I really don't care.

22. Oh, for pete's sake. You got it wrong. So what?
There was a hailstorm, and a pretty big one, apparently. But hail didn't fall a meter deep. It might have drifted up somewhere, carried by runoff, but that's not how much hail fell. It looks like maybe three or four inches.
If you make a mistake, there's nothing wrong with that. Deleting your post, rather than editing it, and then getting all passive-aggressive about this "if CNN..." stuff just doesn't work.
A hailstorm. They happen all over. We had a cool one here last summer, with golf ball sized hail. It was pretty dramatic. There were photos in the local paper, too. CNN did not cover it. Why would they? It's just a freaking hailstorm.

24. Actually, everyone else got it wrong
Suffice it to say, there are 60cm in a meter.
Yup, there was 4-6 feet of hail in Mexico.

29. Only if you measure with a clock.
It's easy to get all those measurements all mixed up, you know. 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Naturally, you'd think that there were 60 centimeters in a meter. It's just a natural mistake. Damned metric system! I blame the French, you know, for that nonsense. Give me good old English measurements, dammit. If 16 inches don't make a dozen and 12 ounces don't make a crown, then I'll be a monkey's uncle.
I've had about enough of those confusing divide by ten metric measurements. If God had wanted us to count by tens, why the hell did he give us 12 fingers in the first place?

36. this is par for the course
1) post bullshit ... even if it is misinterpreted bullshit
2) get called on it
3) keep insisting that miraculous event occurred and that it was reported on (even though you could just say 'I ****ed up')
3a) never provide any factual evidence of the posted bullshit (in reality it doesn't exist)
4) attempt to belittle your detractors (in this case by suggesting they only watch CNN because that is sooo common here on DU)
5) keep getting called on it
6) repeat 2-5 as needed
7) claim martyr status and run away even deleting the OP
And if I do, will keep it in metric...you can do your conversion.
Nadin is yesterdays news.
Her reign and possible retention of the crown is hopeless.
The Queen is dead. Long live the King.
Maybe she's setting her sights on another crown. The title of the stupidest person on all of the intertubes.

Oh, ye of little faith.
Exactly twelve months ago, we saw posts here discounting nutcase nadin's endurance.
Many felt she had peaked in the first quarter, and had no chance of maintaining her blistering pace through the rest of the year.
The Bellevue Socialist is just too damn lazy to mount a credible threat to nadin's supremacy.
One wonders when there will be a swarm attacking these current Nad Detractors similar to the swarm on Obamanaut.
Obamanaut is not posting, and Nad's reporting still has not improved. There is even the threat to 'withhold news'.

91. 'Someone was wrong on the internet' and a virtual small army of men took it upon themselves to conduct a several years-long campaign to let the whole world, or maybe just a couple of morons on a rightwing website, beat this super-important issue to death, over and over and over again, year after year. The boys weren't having much fun lately, so I guess it was necessary to help them out?
Watching this an outside observer might wonder about those men and what compels them to feel that a woman being wrong on the internet is such an important issue that they simply cannot, no matter what else is going on in the world, drag themselves away from this compelling story. So obsessed that none of them can even find the tools made available to them to prevent them from ever seeing someone being wrong on the internet.
And I should mention that a couple of women got involved also, just like schoolyard bullies, there is always a cheering section when someone is bullied.
Ahh, the Queen's newest champion Sabrina the braindead DUmmie rides to the defense.On the left, everything is relative.
Apparently correcting someone is now an official form of bullying. You gotta love the stupidity of these people.
Right now it s down to 37.6... Yes, my thermometer is set to centigrade. So that is life...feel free to convert, or not.Nutty nadin converted that 37.6 celsius to 123F, since the conversion factor is 3.24.
She's busy pimping floods in Chile on the Facebook.
She's quite serios (sic).
I FOUND THE HAIL VIDEO!!!
