Pea-sized to golf ball-sized hail dropped down around 8:30 a.m., trapping the town's mayor, Sharon Schauenberg, in her car for about 20 minutes.
"It just all of a sudden came upon us; this dark, dark cloud and boom — it opened up," she said, adding the storm seemed to be localized to just the town.
The hail shredded trees, covering the town's streets with branches and leaves, according to Schauenberg.
