Hail in Miami! - Bilge - Tiki Central

On my 56 mile commute to work, it starts to rain hard. "No biggie" I think as the traffic slows down. Then I hear a loud thump against the roof of the car and think "That can't be what I think it is." Two thwunks and a lot of noise in seconds, it sure is. So get on the phone to have witnesses that I just didn't dream it up. And call the closest Northerner I can remember to find out how should I drive in hail. Never done that one before having grown up in South Florida. If this isn't a sign of the environment on the world going to hell, what is? It hailed in North Miami on an 81 F degree day. OMG!!!!!!!

Rain, 50km/h winds, hail, all typical for my location this time of year. How exciting! I love freak weather.
