Getting hail in Pahoa

[Rob Tucker]

Haven't seen this in 30 years here.   Hail hitting the ground.

Thought we had hail in OLE, went outside and they were just huge rain drops. I think it remelted before it hit the ground. Just after that, wife's friend sent her video of Pahoa hail.

Some crazy dark clouds surrounding now. Waterspout / tornado weather. Have had thunder here last several hours today.
