You have heard of Hail Dents and storm chasers, but this is a first: “Volcano Debris Dents”. The eruption blew Tephra that fell on motorists near the town of Volcano, Hawaii. Tephra is the general term for any fragments of rock, minerals, and volcanic glass blasted into the air during a volcanic eruption, ranging from fine ash to large rocks that fall like bombs that can hurt or kill a person and or wildlife.
The footage would be right at home in the middle of a Midwest hailstorm.
