AB I hope all the Rex's in the calgary Area were indoors in the past hour...

well its 4:18 right now. A hour ago, i was hearing some thunder, it was getting closer, and closer. Then i decided to check the weather, and it was saying its 8 degrees out. I was thinking thats prime hail conditions.

So i jump in my car while hearing the loud clap of thunder around me. My cars in the front of the house, and my garage is behind it (go figure) so i jump in the FD, start the engine, and take off down the street, trying to beat the rain, or possible hail. get to the garage, start to back my car in, the car is about 1/2 way in the garage, when i hear, BANG BOOM BANG BANG!

Then a curtain of ice the size of marbles start coming down. wow. Oh so very close. so i had to take some pics, ive never seen so much hail at once. wow...

Well i hope the RX-7's were inside for this ice storm.
