There was some nice hailstones. I've just been hunting friend's biscuit tin pill box which we moved last night as hailstones were landing in it. Couldn't remember where I put it
Great sound is hailstones on metal

The hail was deafening in the cab I was in. Extraordinary. And even scarey.

I remember a massive hailstorm while I was on the top deck of a routemaster. Was great fun

Hailstones the size of chickpeas, then quails' eggs, then medium marbles were plummeting down violently for about 5-10 minutes last night in centralish SW9... it was bloody dramatic sounding on glass roofs etc. I'm quite relieved not to have lost any window or roof panes. Can't imagine what it must have been like to get caught outside in that! 
oops: I am a hail coward and go "ow! ow! OWW!!!" even when I get caught by the tiny stingy ones the size of raw lentils.)

It's the smallest things that hurt, look at paper cuts

It was quite a sound when I could hear it approaching from the horizon. Never heard anything quite like that before.

Sounds like a glazers gag that. Stick one 'thunder pane' in on every job to guarantee a call out.
The covers come off.

Great storm last night. Tried to record, but by the time I found the app the hailstones had stopped. I really thought we would lose some glass the noise was so loud. The wind seemed to be blowing from the West, so the housemates at the back of the house were oblivious until the thunder started.
At one point, I reckon you could have kayaked down the hill. Loads of tree and leaf debris this morning and a tide line on the pavements all the way to Brixton tube.

And baseball bats.

This is true, but don't want to get all American about it, so cricket bat might be better (or a rounders bat)

Just looks a bit cheap and temporary compared the delightful workmanship in the Victorian Gothic building next door.

Sounds positively epic to me!
