What The Hail???

[Doug Harris]

Just received from the National Weather Service in Albany NY:

AT 324 PM EDT.NATL WEATHER SVC DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A  SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING NICKEL SIZE HAIL.AND  DAMAGING WINDS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH.

That ain't no two-bit storm, but is maybe a Guinness-booker, if it's
producing hail of _that_ size. (I always thought hail was more or less
spherical. Less, apparently, in this instance.)
