gosh I just hope nobody got hurt!
An ice storm... now? in August? Isn't it quite hot now in NYC?
Ah, I just reread, you are talking about hail. We had a hailstorm also in august here many years ago. I think it is not unusual for it to happen in the summer.
We definitely have an increase of thunderstorms here and very severe ones with rain pouring down like from a waterfall. A neighbor of my mums is so scared of the thunder and lightning that she walks down into the basement each time the tempest starts. And she will just sit there, sometimes for more than an hour or so, tremble and wait till it is over!
The poor woman.
