No "bad" weather was predicted - only clear sunny skies. In fact, all the TV stations had made a special point to tell their viewers that.

Nevertheless, the skies unexpectedly went from bright sun to very dark within 5 minutes. It then started to pour damaging hail. Our yard and back deck were quickly covered by it. The storm had passed us before the NOA weather radio started to alarm. As it progressed East of us, the hail went from walnut sized to ping ball sized to golf ball sized to baseball sized to finally grapefruit sized before totally leaving the Metro. Guess we were lucky that the hail storm started here and had only walnut sized hail. Some of it might have been a tad larger. These hail stones broke branches off some of our younger trees and shattered ceramic flower pots on my deck.
