it sounded like someone was throwing pennies against my windows

That was giant raindrops falling to Earth at a 91 degree angle.

We did not get nearly the amount of damage I thought we would, nothing like what you got up by you.  There was relatively little to clean up in the 22 lawns I cut today.  A few big limbs on a couple of properties was about it.  I saw some large limbs down on other properties, but not trees down.

If you heard a freight train in your back yard, that was probably a MB.  When we had a MB here in 2002 (I think), it was frightening, like nothing I'd ever heard or seen.  I took my 5 yo son to the basement.  The duration was maybe 10 minutes.

We were on the very south edge of it and it was pretty damn windy.  No hail though.  Things outside blown around pretty good.
