The hail and downpour

We reached the hostel just in time. The rain had not started yet. The clouds were rolling in. We rushed to the terrace to remove the clothes and just in time. Within 5 min of our coming down it stared raining.
We decided to have our food at the community food area opposite the hostel.
As we started eating, the rain became a heavy downpour and soon there were hailstones. The heavy rain and hailstones lasted for about 20-30 minutes not before the whole area outside was covered in water and hailstones.
The 2 girls (most probably the daughters of the lady from whose stall I had eaten) came and sat with us waiting for the rain to subside.
After the rain stopped for a while, we went back to the hostel to rest and sleep for the night.Read more
