Freak Hail Strikes Long Beach at Lunch

Unexpected storm drops an icy surprise.

Patch photo contributor Jeanie Bobich, who just sent us this, was driving along Ocean Boulevard about noon today when the ice balls cometh. She said her ''camera toady'' captured the hail storm. "I was actually going out to lunch with my husband in Belmont Shore so we could check out some restaurants for potential [business] deals," said Bobich, who was on her way back to Rancho Palos Verdes at the time. "It did make driving tricky because it was sunny outside while the hail was coming down. I really think it took everyone by surprise."
