May 14th we got a hailstorm that was the worst I've ever experienced in my 30 years of living in Virginia. The odd thing is that it seems to have hit our little neighborhood the worst. We got hailstones as big as 1.25 inches while a neighborhood east of us got hail about .75 inches, and another neighborhood a little farther to the southwest of us got only rain!
Needless to say, it did some damage. It dinged our siding really bad, and broke one of our security lights. I'm grateful that no windows were broken. I picked up some of the hail from our porch and yard and put it next to a ruler on my stove, so you can see in the above photo how big it was.
