It turns out that last night's thunderstorm was a freak hailstorm that shut down the city for several hours. I had no idea. One subway line had to be rerouted and another was suspended due to station flooding. Piles of hail dotted sidewalks, and flash floods washed out several streets across the city. I knew the hail was odd, and it really poured, but I was oblivious to the full extent of the storm's magnitude. For me, sitting alone in my bedroom and listening to the rain on the windowpane, the storm was just an old-fashioned thunderstorm, a reminder of my days growing up in Mississippi.
