The lightning coupled with that system looks really severe. I can't imagine golf ball or baseball sized hail! The biggest I've ever seen was quarter-sized and that was plenty big enough for me.

I'm in Delaware and darned if the radar doesn't look like we're going to get hit with a string of storms tonight but there is NOTHING that I'm seeing in our actual forecast. I'm sure our dog will alert us way before they actually get here. She HATES the noise and let's us know way in advance if something is heading our way.

We occasionally get hail here in Cali, but it's never bigger than lentil size, if that.

Then again, every 80 years or so we get a huge earthquake, so there is that.
