We heard it on the police scanner first - calls from the local suburbs alerting their patrols of the Severe Thunderstorm Warning with up to golfball size hail. We could hear the thunder in the distance. And then it started - the hail started first. Not the rain, not the wind - the hail. It was like the leading edge of whatever was moving in. It started slow, but the noise was distinctive - it wasn't the small, pea-sized hail. this was much larger, and the sound on the aluminum siding was loud, but not as jarring as the "pinging" against the glass windows. It wasn't golfball sized, but it was the size of somewhere around a penny or nickel. Thank God it didn't last long at all. The wind and rain that followed was pretty significant, but it, too didn't last.
