"Hail Hail" Rock and Roll

Please excuse me for paraphrasing Chuck Berry's lyrics. It hailed yesterday and I haven't seen hail around here in years. Not only that but it hailed again about an hour later! Very odd, indeed. Both times it was "pea" sized too. The last time I can recall hail around here was when I was a kid out on the tractor cultivating soy beans. The hail storm hit, of course, when I was on the opposite end of the field and my only shelter was under the tractor. I still got hit with hailstones and I remember how much it stung. Fortunately this time I was watching from inside the house!
