As long as no one is hurt and there is not too much damage, hail is a rather wondrous phenomenon.
I was in Central Falls a few years ago to interview someone, and suddenly the whole world changed. I pulled my car over and just submitted to the racket as hail stones clattered against the roof. Nothing to do but wait.
There is something leveling about hail. People’s differences fade in the face of Nature showing who’s boss.
Dale Lezon had a hail story in the Houston Chronicle this week: “Residents in Hitchcock and Santa Fe woke up to broken roofs, shattered windows and dented cars after softball-sized hail battered the communities late Tuesday night.”
I especially liked the picture.
