Of course there's about a zillion species of acacia--don't know if yours

For a while during that storm, I thought an ark (Noah's type) might be a
good idea! Never before in AZ have I seen hailstones 1.5" in diameter. It
was raining/hailing so hard (horizontally) that the visibility was down to
less than 100 yards, and went on for over an hour.
