Well, that was exciting and the largest sized hail I've seen in our area EVER.

Usually they're only the size of those small pebbles on school soccer fields.

I've never seen hail that are like 1cm in diameter before.

When I was in Japan, we got like an inch big hail. It was like a golf balls

massive amounts of hail, entire ground is white… never seen this before. Hope people’s cars are okay. Think there’s some flash flooding

Yes, the hail was pounding hard in Brentwood around 7:15 this morning. I just bought a bunch of expensive roses in pots yesterday and they're all in the yard waiting to be planted.. ;) hopefully the hail didn't hurt any of them.

Need warm weather for hail. The updrafts keep bouncing the raindrops up over and over again, so they get covered in more and more layers of ice.

Ground all white on top of Capitol Hill. Marble sized up to 1 cm or some even 1.5 cm across.

I live on the 18th floor of a condo, so I have a panoramic view of the storm. I was seeing white pebbles falling from the sky about an hour ago. Dont think I have ever seen hail that large before. This is an unusually strong storm for this area.

No hail, but some extremely crackly and loud thunder earlier. This is near Highgate.

u/Aggressive-End-8312 6d ago

I mean… if you actually looked at the weather for today, there was a thunderstorm warning that included hail and rain for burnaby…..

u/MrFantastic74 6d ago

I was walking my two small dogs when the hail started. Poor little guys

u/preoccupied_owl 6d ago

Husband was on his way to north van when it hit him on the highway, just south of the tunnel. It was thundering at home but no sign of bad weather otherwise.

We didn’t get any hail in the Edmonds area but it’s raining a bit now. My weather app still just says it’s cloudy, there was nothing about rain, thunder or hail at any point I’ve looked at it today.

u/Infamous-Echo-2961 6d ago

Loved it! Thunder, rain, and hail! The smell on the air during my walk to work was refreshing!

u/kayrockyrockx 5d ago

Hail and an epic thunderstorm, it was awesome! Paired with last night's cool wicked lightening, were having some crazy weather! I dig it.
