what the hail?

It hailed in Phoenix yesterday. I couldn't believe how big the hail was. Jonathon grabbed one from the ground and held it out while I took a picture of it. It is almost golf ball sized. It was huge! Especially for Phoenix. It poured...really really poured for about 5 minutes...let up....then poured again. It was so pretty to see. I still can't believe it hailed. So many people at work are telling me that they have to have their cars repaired from hail damage...what the hail is that about? Hoot.
