Wow, nothing like that here. Just some intermittent rain that didn't amount to anything. I was watching some pretty violent storms cross your area on the radar, but they all missed me.

Saw that on the Philly news. Plane had to return to the airport with a cracked windshield from the hail. All we had was torrential rains and thunder, lots of it, early in the AM. May be more later tonight. Foggy now, the street light is just a faint glow.

Damn Al, that's pretty impressive. Thanks for showing it.

I like how it was cutting the leaves right off the tree. One time I rented a car in Phoenix and drove up to the Grand Canyon. When I got to the rim it started hailing just like that. I remember thinking.."this ain't right Lord, how are people supposed to live like this"? I was afraid the windows on the car would break.

The whole yard and all the roads around here are covered in green leaves.There was still ice piled along silver run road two hours after the hail stopped.I believe that had I been out in it I could have been knocked out.Once me and my wife on Roanoke river in NC had to pull off the river and drag the canoe up into the woods and flip it to hid from hail half this size.Actually she was under the canoe and I was laying mostly out from under it holding my life jacket over my head and taking the body thumps as they came.

I work in Chester County Pa. We had golf ball size hail here with real strong winds. It sounded like 25 drummers on the roof. A co-workers hood on his new Kia is loaded with small dents now. Our vantage point gave us a real good view of the storm coming across the valley. It was a wall of grey heading right for us.

Driving home through West Chester was surreal. I've never seen that many green leaves on the ground. They covered roads and lawns completely, just shredded by the hail. Lots of large trees down.
