Pretty sky at the start... not so pretty at the end! I haven't actually experienced hail for a long time.... I guess that's a good thing.

@04smallmj Yeah, it looked awesome with the sunset behind it. What a difference it was once I got under the leading edge when I turned that corner on 2A. You'll see the hail in the next video I put together of the core of th storm.
