After the hailstorm…

 Well, the sky has quit throwing stones down at us.  The tornado sirens are quiet.  It’s really wet outside, and here’s a bit of a glimpse of what’s left.  I have pictures of what remained of some of the hailstones that fell in our yard.  There is a picture of a hole that once had a hailstone in it, before the thing melted.  There are also pictures of the damage done to Dad’s car when he was out delivering a missed paper.  And the last 2 pictures are of the stones that Mom picked up and put in her freezer for reasons yet unknown.

First Hailstorm I’ve Seen

I’ve been here close to 4 years now and I’d never seen a hailstorm till today.  I’d heard a couple during the night before.  Today I woke up late in the morning to constant pounding on the roof and walls.  I looked out and lo and behold, we are having a hailstorm…hail coming down the size of tennis balls.  I grabbed my camera and took a video of it.  I’m hoping I can upload it properly here on the blog.  If not I’ll upload it to my site and post the link to it.
