    Thank you thank you, good stuff.  The thing I'm struggling with, at least around here anyway, is that I've never seen hail that didn't at least have somewhat of that milky white appearance to it, whereas this stuff was crystal clear.  Then on the other hand, I also haven't seen anything from an atmospheric standpoint that would indicate sleet was possible in that environment (i.e. no layers where a melting and refreeze would be possible).  My head tells me it had to be hail but my eyes were telling me another thing.  The only thing that's certain is that I've spent way too much time thinking about this haha.

    Not sure if this helps, here a pic of the hail.

  2. Yeah, I saw tents and other apparatus on the beach so maybe this doesn't apply to the off season? IDK.  Nah wasn't worried about the water level, but the winds had me a bit worried, as I was getting pelted and thought if something let's lose at that speed, I don't have a lot of reaction time.  I went back inside and had the lady at the hotel comment that she was keeping an "eye" on me.  One of the maintenance guys I was talking to mentioned this was worse than Matthew and Florence because of the winds.  IAN made 2nd landfall about 40 miles to my south near Georgetown.  What was cool, was as IAN landed around 2:05pm to my south, winds shifted from the NE to S and you could really feel the warmth for about 15-20 minutes before they went back to the NE.
