RISE AND SHINE TO THE BEATING

of the alarm? NO. To the sound of golfball size hail bashing your house, car, and yard. Thanks.

That is how we woke up this morning at 5:30 AM. It only lasted 20 minutes but it was completely unexpected and reported to be the worst storm in 20 years.

That was until 6PM that evening. Check these pics out. It dropped baseball and softball size hail. I guess mother nature decided that she did not finish her job this morning so she came back with a vengeance.

Crazy.

We got lucky. No substantial damage that we can tell of thus far. People we see have holes all in their windshields, complete roofs have given to, trees that were full of leaves last week are as bare as winter bones now.

Not only that but we also got 3" of rain in one hour. That is more rain than most places will get in a whole month at any given time this year.

Oh, did we mention tornadoes? Call it what you want, but when these are outside your garage it is thrilling and scary in the same rush of emotions.

Until the next one, we will be waiting. Next time leave the hail somewhere else.
