Quarter Sized Hail and a Tornado!
In an elapsed time of about 20 minutes we just received about 1.5″ of rain and another inch of hail ranging from dime to quarter size. The temperature dropped some 15-20° too! The tornado was spotted near Dulles Airport (KIAD) but never touched down, thankfully.
Combined with about 50 cloud to ground lightning strikes, I wonder how many barrels of oil that would save IF we could harness all of that energy ;-)
