Some Chesapeake residents got a quick hit of some out-of-the-ordinary precipitation Friday afternoon when a hailstorm came and lasted about 20 minutes.
About 4:30, resident David Sannon said, he and his wife watched hail - ranging in size from about a quarter to a large, 50-cent piece - pelt their home and yard on Ballahack Road, south of Great Bridge.
``I've never seen anything like it in my life,'' Sannon said. ``It was a beautiful sight.'' by CNB
