HailstormGlad to say that I have experienced my first hailstorm. And it was a pretty gusty one at that.
It started as a quite hot day - 30 degrees. (Add a
boring dayto it). I was all at home preparing for the interview. It never got very cold. Towards dusk, it started becoming a bit cloudy, which was expected according to the forecast.
Late at nite, I was sitting in front of the computer and doing general browsing, when suddenly, a sound like a thousand leaves rusting came up. I first thought that it was a big 4x4 going by. And I ignored it.
Then my roomies called out, saying that it was a hailstorm. And I went out and saw. Sure it was one.
Ice pieces as big as regular ice-cubes were being pelted from the sky. They were coming down so fast that it dented some of the cars too.
It lasted for about 15 minutes, giving me enough time to take some snaps, in low light, and even a video. Here is one of them - just shows the masses of ice left over after the storm.
The ice after the storm
I had the second stage of the interview. I did better in this compared to the previous one; the questions were quite easy, though. I just hope.
