A solid form of precipitation that falls from the sky in the form of ice chunks. While the some of the largest hail stones have reported being the size of sporting balls, they are deadly and destructive due to their numbers, amounts that fall at a time, and solidity. Not to be confused with snow, hail is solid and does not usually clump together (it also hurts more too). Hail is also a term for praising or worshipping a leader or ruler, but this tag shouldn't include pictures of those scenarios.
