    Crazy storm. Never seen hail so big landing in NYC.

    Tornadoes, and now hail...why do I have a bad feeling about this winter.

    Hail drift.

    A pile of hail blown by wind into corner. About 4" deep. Note how hail pile is more than 2 bricks high

    So you're saying that objects in PH appear twice as large as theY are in PS? Interesting.

    It's like we live in the middle of some kind of science experiment lately.

    Parts of 4th Ave. are flooded to the point that people can't cross the street and some business, such as Natural Plus at St. Mark's almost have water in the doorway.

    I am referring to the amount of accumulation, not the size of the individual hail :D/

    Our hail is the size of the stuff on Slopeduder's hand

    Al Gore must be psyched!

    Holy balls!! I was driving home on Atlantic and I had to just stop and sit there while I got pummled by hail, feeling like any second a t-rex was just going to grab my whole car and eat me alive like jurassic park or something! And boy were the streets, especially the corner of 4th/9th, like rivers! holy crap.

    I saw the Clouds of Doom coming in from the south-west when we were approaching LGA from the Hudson around two hours ago. When the cab hit Vanderbilt Ave and Atlantic, the sidewalks all the way out to the street looked like the Zambezi.

    disaster at my place. 2 feet of water rushed through the garden level. I'm sure i'm not the only one. Live just off vanderbilt so i'm aussuming it was water running down hill with no where to go. Good times.
