BATON ROUGE - A thunderstorm is rocking the Baton Rouge area, bringing with it lightning and hail.  These pictures of hail sent to us by 2 News Reporter Mark Armstrong.  Mark shot the video near downtown Baton Rouge just before 11 AM.

Some Saturday events are canceled because of the storms including the Cancer Services annual spring party for children and families affected by cancer.
