4. I've been awake too long, misread that as "Basketball-size hail" |

7. You don't get out of that basement much, do you? |

Hailstorms are not widespread all-day events. They come up suddenly. So you can be out riding your bike on a blustery spring day, get overtaken by a thunderstorm, and then hail can start raining down on you.
It's simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But then you knew that, didn't you?
