Sam Cohen of Baltimore recalls a tremendous summer thunderstorm in the early 1970s. Trees fell, streets flooded and "in Dundalk they had 12 inches of hail and had to bring in a snowplow. ... Can you look this up and tell me I'm not crazy?" National Weather Service storm reports include one for July 8, 1972, noting "severe hail" in Harford and Baltimore counties: "In some places, it covered the ground." No mention of plows.
