This WAS a rare occurrence.  Usually, our rare lightning storms occur in 
September.  We usually don't have tornadoes here on the coast, although I 
remember over the past 50+ years having occasional water spouts form over 
the ocean and once, long ago, a small tornado came on land and ripped 
through a corner of a pasture about 1-1/2 miles from our house and take down 
a bunch of trees.

Weather that cold is rarely accompanied by lightning, at least in MY
experience!  Because of the hail, if it were me, I'd be looking around
for a tornado.
