Around 9:30pm last night, Chicagoans were pelted with golf ball-sized hail during an extreme storm that featured numerous giant lightning bolts. It might have been scary, loud as hell, evidence of global warming or even beautiful depending on where you were sitting. We tweeted about it, we took pictures and many of you sent us yours. Here's some shots documenting the June 30, 2011 freaky crazy hail storm from TOC's twitter followers.
