FOX Weather Storm Tracker Brandon Copic found what was left of the vehicle about few miles outside of McCook as a supercell blasted the area with hailstones estimated over 3 inches in diameter, according to the National Weather Service.

Video from Copic showed the car with a bashed-in windshield showing scars of dozens of large hailstone strikes. The driver’s side window was also fractured, while a rear passenger window was missing.
In addition, the car showed significant dents and body damage to the driver’s side doors. Both headlines also suffered damage.
“This is the worst hail damage I’ve ever seen a vehicle take,” Copic said.
Severe Thunderstorm Watches remained in effect for much of western Nebraska and northwestern Kansas until 10 p.m. CT. Tuesday.
