Looks like spring time in central Texas to me.

I got stuck in one of those while kayaking once.

We had our first hailstorm a couple of weeks ago. I'd never seen hail before in my life. It's really wild! Glad you were not out on a ride when it happened.

I was in the hail storm twice today. Once while at work and then when I got home. Apparently, the storm took that long to get from one part of NY to my house. My poor car.

I was attempting to drive home (was supposed to be on a group ride) in this storm. We didn't get the hail though, just lots of loud thunder and flashes of lighting. Originally Posted by BleeckerSt_Girl

It was pretty violent- you would not be able to stand out in it. The photos didn't really do it justice (honest!)
But yes it's true- one person's extreme is another person's everyday occurrence.
We in the northeast do have our chuckles around here when we hear about all the panic down south when they get a half inch of snow or something.

One minute it was raining then it starting hailing. Yesterday I had heard we might get large sized hail (up to 1/2 inch I think) but it was sorta like corn or pea sized. Didn't last long. I couldn't ride yesterday d/t the winds, blue sky's turned to black and poured rain, then back to blue. Just didn't want to take any chances.
