Isn't there something in the Bible about this one? WND provides link to UK Telegraph:

'Ice from the sky' hits Italy

AN Italian workman was hit on the head by a lump of ice weighing nearly two pounds which "fell out of the sky" yesterday. The 24-year-old man was not seriously hurt. "Luckily he was wearing two hats," a doctor at a hospital in Ancona said.

The incident, like a number in Spain in recent weeks, was one of four reported in Italy since Monday. A lump of ice "the size of a pumpkin" landed in central Milan yesterday, another hit a car near Bologna and a block weighing 11lb landed on a golf course near Rome. It is not certain whether the icy lumps are from comets or passing aircraft, or are just huge hailstones. Bruce Johnston, Rome

"It is not certain whether the icy lumps are from comets or passing aircraft, or are just huge hailstones."

If someone got killed by one -- a child, say -- we'd get an answer mighty quick.
