Norfolk, Nebraska hailstorm: 20-minute deluge

And remember, class, natives of Norfolk usually pronounce it "Norfork." From Wikipedia:
The original name of the colony was a variant of "North Fork", but accounts differ on the exact name: "Northfork", "Nor'fork", and "Nordfork" are all suggested. The name was submitted to federal postal authorities, and at some point was transmuted to "Norfolk".
