Sorry, not my problem, I am a meteorologist, not an astronomer. Asteroid falling down? Sorry, not my problem, I am a meteorologist, not an astronomer. Golf sized hail? Hail comes when the difference of temperature between the ground and aloft is very big. That works like a chimney, the air rises, moisture condenses, form clouds then rain and ... it still rises until it freezes and comes down as hail. Big hail = big temperature difference and much moisture near the ground. Hurricane? That happens when the temperature of the south-east of the north Atlantic reaches 27 C or above. Why is that? Again, great difference of temperature and much moisture. You must also remember that technically a hurricane can happen just anywhere because it is defined as a wind that reaches hurricane force, which is force 12, the highest one on the Beaufort scale.<br><b>References : </b><br> An eclipse during the day?
