Branches and leaves were knocked down by the combination of powerful winds and heavy precipitation.
Some streets became littered with debris, creating hazardous conditions for anyone who might otherwise have attempted to travel.
Local authorities urged residents to remain indoors while the worst of the weather passed.
For those watching from windows, the scene outside looked dramatically different from the quiet evening that had existed only moments earlier.
Roofs were being pelted continuously.
Trees swayed violently.
Vehicles were covered in ice.
And streets that had been clear just minutes earlier were scattered with hail and storm debris.
Vehicles Suffered Significant Damage
One of the most visible consequences of the storm was the damage reported to vehicles.
The unusually large hailstones left dents across body panels and, in some cases, damaged windows and other exterior components.
For vehicle owners caught outside without access to shelter, the situation was particularly concerning.
A vehicle can provide some protection from smaller hail, but large hailstones can cause serious damage, especially when combined with strong winds.
