I was about 10 minutes from work and the sky started to light up. It took a little while till it dawned on me that it was lightning. Less than 5 minutes from work, I heard the first clap of thunder. Then it started to sprinkle and then...about 2 minutes from work - pouring rain and hail! Hail that was almost the size of golf balls. Ouch! I could see my building but was considering ducking into the fish market for cover. Instead, I started to sprint. I got to my building and the maintenance guy and security guard came out and asked, "Is that hail?" I wanted to say, "Yes, do you see the red marks on my face?"
Good thing you had on a helmet!
