Big Hail


This week we had a strong storm blow thru. I tried to beat it home, but didn't make it. I had to pull off at the gas station south of home and ride it out. My car got pounded! Not as bad as this truck - the worst hail was a few miles east. The sunroof, rear window, and one of the side windows were also broken out.


JP & the boys were home throughout it. They lost power, and the cell connections were overloaded as everyone tried to check on their families & friends. The tornado sirens started going off before the weatherman received notice from the weather service. It was mass confusion as tornadoes were spotted only a mile from the house.


We got about 5" of rain in two hours. The backyard turned into a river. The basement stayed dry.
