An Uncommon Phenomenon

I was with my wife just talking about going out to the store when all of a sudden we heard a pinging sound on the roof of the house. It was pretty strange, so I looked outside and to my surprise, it was hailing. This is not common in the city where I live, and especially in times like these where we have been experiencing daily temperatures of about 40° C. It was about 7:35 pm, today. I called my sons to see this uncommon phenomenon. They were enthused by it. They got outside in all the excitement: picking up small hailstones and simply enjoying it all. So, when we least expect it, mother nature surprises us. It was a good sight to behold.
