‘Kapooyow! Kapooyow!’: Woman’s Amazing Description of Hailstorm Goes Viral

Texas was hit hard by damaging hailstorms on Tuesday, resulting in millions of dollars in damages. Houston’s KPRC-TV went out into the community to assess the situation and get some good eyewitness accounts. And boy did they get the latter.

In the middle of the rather low-key report, a very animated woman stole the show, using amazing sound effects to effectively describe what it was like living through the storm.

“Man! Those jokers was big!” Brookshire resident Michelle Clark said of the hail in an interview with KPRC-TV. “Size of a quarter, doggone!” she added.

Kabooyow! Woman Gives Amazing Description of Hailstorm in Interview With KPRC in Texas

Michelle Clark (KPRC-TV)

Clark said the sounds of the storm were unlike anything she had ever heard. “It said kapooyow! Kapooyow!”

“And boy, that hail just came in…I looked out my door and it started hitting me in my head, I took off running and ran to my restroom and then I called my momma to see if she all right.”

    Blaze, you have outdone yourself in absolutely useless stories! Can’t you have a link that separates the vacuous mindless liberals who check in on us for their useless human non interest stories, so that we could have more time for real news?!?!

      Then they wonder why they can’t get ahead. More proof that voters need to take a civics test before casting a ballot. Keep out the uninformed.

    I understood every word. That is why it’s so funny!

    I worked in the South for months. I wouldn’t want to live there…but it’s a great place to visit.

    The South is THICK in every sense of the word.
    The food, the climate, the accent, the religion, & the people!

      I guess some people can call it ebonics and some of us can call it something else. And as for the southern part Im from New Orleans and I don’t talk like I never learned the English language. Ever watch ‘Hard Core Pawn’? Funny how 99% of the people on that show talk like that and they are in Detroit. Is Detroit the south too? A hint: Its called “IGNANT” LOL.

      LONEINDIVIDUAL: Wow, you are an extremely myopic little person (do I need to post that definition for you?) and we are thankful you do NOT reside in our great state. We prefer those with intelligence and some semblance of common sense. BTW, Texas is technically part of the American Southwest not South.

      Most importantly, not even most Texans would understand what she is saying unless they lived in the hood and understood Ebonics. Most of us speak one of the following: West Texan, North Texan, East Texan, Central Texan, Gulf Coast Texan, Panhandle Texan or Tex-Mex.

      Pink Elephant. Sorry, she does not live in Sheila J. Lee’s district (but probably visits there, often). Brookshire is west of Katy on I-10, going towards San Antonio. It is part of Congressional District 111 (McCaul). Sheila’s district is part of downtown Houston and slightly north of the 610 loop.

      And, yes, most of us in the Houston area (and the rest of Texas) are making fun of both her Ebonics and ridiculous behavior. Especially since she thought quarter size hail was large. It was average sized to slightly larger hail for our area. No where near the largest we see and we see quite a bit of hail every year.

    As a public service, here’s a translation – yes, I speak Jive and Ebonics (L.A. schools, yo!)

    “Young lady, those hailstones were rather large, about the size of a quarter dollar. My dog took off. The hail spoke to me, in a most unusual language, then it began to come down strongly.. I opened my door, and the hail struck me upon my head! I began running! I ran to the lavatory and called my mother to make sure she was okay.”

    The only reason TheBlaze posts stories like this because they know they will get a bunch of clicks, racist comments, and, thus, ad revenue.

      The only thing “shockingly offensive” here is that the government “educated” this person and WE paid for it.
