A violent hailstorm storm on Saturday caused some flooding and other issues. Spin-outs, collisions and other traffic problems abounded over a wide area as a barrage of hail fell in a very short time frame, with several inches of accumulated hail mounding up in Cottonwood and Anderson. Flooding forced the closure of a key stretch of South Street near Volonte Park, cutting off the route between Anderson and Happy Valley. Highway 44 was also a wrecking zone as it was coated with hail of a half-inch diameter and more.
