It's raining, it's pouring, it's...hailing?
Biblical rains have become the theme of 2017 in the Bay Area, which has seen some of its highest rainfall totals in recorded history, but many San Franciscans were perplexed by the addition of hail to the mix, which occurred this morning.
A freak hail storm just plummeted #SF's Sunset and I'm 2 blocks from the beach. Is this the end of days? pic.twitter.com/4ECu6hJQjf

We've had reports of the hail from as far afield as SoMa, the Upper Haight, the Sunset, and Bernal Heights.
We totally picked the best time to climb to the top of Bernal Heights Park. In the middle of a hail storm. pic.twitter.com/TupsySlQts

The pellet-sized hail appears to have been too small to have done any damage, but nonetheless, someone has taken responsibility:
sorry for the hail, having trouble controlling my emotions today
