OMG! It just hailed HUGE balls of ice in Chico for like 5 minutes. Then it stopped, like someone flicked off a switch or something. I was inside my apartment when it started. It was so loud I thought, “This can’t be rain, there’s no way.”
So I opened up my door and saw that all my neighbors had done the same. The new kids downstairs were whoopin’ and hollerin’ and toasting the hail with cans of Coors Light. The guy who lives across from me upstairs was taking pictures. This sounded like a great idea, so I grabbed my camera too.
