One resident of the area, and a victim of the freak weather, said: “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
Another said: “I had to go and look out the back door. It was as if someone was hitting pebbles off of my windows.”
The massive hailstones accompanied thunder and lightning storms which swept the region.
