A listener sent 1010WINS photographs of the hail in her Whitestone, Queens yard. There's a rather adorable gallery of her kids amazed at the hail stones and even posing with buckets of it! Newsday reports the hail was "caused by strong updrafts that suspended raindrops in the chilly upper atmosphere until they froze," according to a meteorologist who also said it was unusual for such large hail. Some neighborhoods all over the NYC-area suffered flooding and downed trees; flights were also delayed at the three airports.

priceless pictures :-)
Yeah, I really love those photos. It's already crazy to me as an adult--how excited must those kids have been to see the hail?
They should put them in the freezer and save them for their grandchildren to see.
Great shots. These children are adorable and so photogenic.
