Thanks for sharing @littlefeller, it is worse than I imagined when you told us about it yesterday. Were you really out there with bare feet?

it didnt damage any paint on the cars, and yes i was bare footed, though it was middle of the summer and a gloriously sunny day, it just came from nowhere and after it had passed within 20 min it was back to a summers day. ruined the garden, it stripped all the trellis off the walls and my parasol ended up about 6 gardens up.
the hail was larger than marbles, it was very painful, i sat in the garden watching it approach, then the hail started and as soon as i started getting hit i moved it a bit sharpish.
here ya go,
Yep, seen that a few times in Florida, you don't want to be out in it!

There is a youtube video about it as well.
