comments: Clear sky till about 4:15pm, when it got very dark, and some rain. At 4:43pm the
hail started and it was heavy downpour thru to 4:54 p.m. It was pea size the whole time,
but in the end, the pieces were either touching or up to 1/2" apart. some light rain
continued afterwards, and some almost imperceptible small hail till 5:12pm. I had to stare
at the deck boards to see the individual hail pieces hit it and bounce -- Only 2 lightning
incidents during the hail storm, but afterwards it got louder and more frequent, till
about 5:01pm when it was almost non-stop, and the sky was a lighter grey. At some places
the hail stones were piled on top of each other, and other places there was space between
them. It remained the same size throughout, although during the last approx. 15 minutes
they did seem to be even smaller than rice (as they bounced).
