Louis Black once said that the best job in the world would be the weatherman in San Diego, “How’s the weather today Bob?…Nice.” Now I don’t want to put down our local meteorologists [the new way to de-sexify weatherman], but our people who handle the weather have their work cut out for them and they should get paid more than the same people in San Diego where it’s nice.Louis Black once said that the best job in the world would be the weatherman in San... more

A violent summer storm slammed hailstones the size of baseballs down onto eastern Queens and western Nassau County Monday afternoon, shattering windshields in New Hyde Park, Long Island, and damaging cars in Douglaston, Queens, the National Weather Service said.
Three-inch hailstones were reported in New Hyde Park around 4:30 p.m., said Nancy Furbush, a meteorologist with the weather service. No one was injured. The same storm hobbled much of the Long Island Rail Road, creating big delays for the evening rush.
In Douglaston, Nathaniel Arad, 7, said that the storm sounded “like rocks were hitting our house.” His mother, Melanie Fitzpatrick, 40, estimated that the blocks of ice had been grape-sized, then golf-ball-sized, before forming clusters as big as baseballs.
Ms. Fitzpatrick said that the area has experienced a number of weird weather events since last summer, including a fierce thunderstorm with hail in June 2010 and a violent storm that included two tornadoes in nearby Flushing last September.

UNDATED - Residents in West Texas were walloped by waves of strong storms Thursday.
Stretches of Interstate 27 in the Panhandle were temporarily closed because of high water. Winds also downed power lines in Howard County.
Firefighters in the small town of Tulia had to rescue people from stranded cars.
Crews even pulled out snow plows and road graders after the first wave of storms pounded the town with hail that blocked culverts and backed up the water on I-27. "It was just like an ice jam," a Tulia police dispatcher said.
Storm spotters reported tornadoes but there was no immediate word on damage.
