Winter storms bring hailstones and a rainbow to Berkeley
A rainbow graced Berkeley after a heavy round of hail in the afternoon.

Hail struck Berkeley throughout the day Tuesday during the latest winter storms to reach the Bay Area.
The first wave came Tuesday morning, followed by a round in the early afternoon, then a "bigger and more persistent" wave at 2:45 p.m. Residents also reported lightning and thunder when the hailstorms hit.
We've collected the best community reports, photos and videos of Tuesday's storm in Berkeley.
