Default Where were you when the Hail started?

I was driving home from Oakville and just a few minutes from Home when the sky started going dark. Then the rain and hail just dumped on us. My 7 year old in the back seat just kept saying "Ow, they hurt"

All those white spots are hail. Most had melted by the time I got the camera.



I don't have a garage, so I parked on my lawn under the big tree to try and keep it somewhat dry

We missed it too coming the other way but we could see the lightning off ot the West as we were heading down to the 401.
The only guy with his panels off had put them back on before we headed out so it wouldnt have been an issue
crazy weather, maybe I will have to put the softtop on, so I dont get caught without anything, but then again it is easier to just lift the hardtop off for those topless drives.

At least I wasn't the only one to have a wet interior.
