Hailstones an inch or more across!
Buckets of 'em, going *plonk* in the rain gutters and lying all over the street.

I know that some of you out in the really weird weather country will retort that you've seen baseball sized hail, but I'm an East Coast girl, and I've *never* seen it like this.

Truly amazing.

2. Northern Bucks County in Pennsylvania
It doesn't seem to be widespread -- just one tight little storm that decided to come and piss over us.

7. Stay away from the windows...
I had a hailstone knock the porch light right off the wall last year. Would've put a pretty good knot on someone's head, I figure.

5. Hm, hail the size of golf balls.
I vaguely remember something about Nostradamus and 'hail the size of eggs will fall when...'

We were SURE we were going to have a tornado, and some places did nearby.
