It is 96Fg right now at 6:05pm, after a high of 99F. We didn't quite make triple-digits.

Thanks for posting. Vids, we had hail like that here about 7 years ago, I had just bought a car off the lot, pickup next day. Guess what, hail storm. I didn't get the car for about 2 weeks, the whole yard got hit. I don't know how they fixed it but they did.lol.
The sound was unbelievable,our top story has corrugated iron on it. Man it was loud.

I had a six-month-old Mustang GT basically destroyed by huge hail once. The windows were broken, and the sheet metal looked like the surface of the moon. The insurance company didn't total it. It was in the shop for over a month. They actually had to cut the roof skin off, and weld in a new one. I put it up for sale the day I got it back.
But, I got off easy. A small plane flew into that hail storm and crashed a few blocks from my apartment. The pilot died.
We get those kinds of hail storms regularly in Texas, especially North Texas. Our insurance rates are ridiculous, all because of hail.

Wow, so it not only happens to me. I've recently just sold my 66 notchback. Had it 18 years. I'm a petrol head lol. Btw it's raining here and grey.

I am a "professional" petrol head. I photograph and write about cars for a living. My favorite Stang is a 1968 GT.

We have a balmy 81 F outside at the moment (27 C). No humidity to speak of in comparison to earlier.
Hang in there Hawaii. Here's hoping it suddenly veers off to empty waters and let the fishies go deep.
Back to hail- my understanding was sleet was a mixture of rain, frozen rain and perhaps some wet frozen flakes mixed in. Hail was small pellets of ice, any size - no rain.
