That's Not Weather... That's War!

Those innocent vegetables never stood a chance. The birds had no place to hide. And those flowers... well let's not go there.



Well if you didn't guess already, it was indeed a hail storm that blew through the neighborhood. I'd say it was about 1/2" on average. Doesn't sound big, but when it comes down like someone winning the jackpot at a pachinko parlor, for 5 minutes straight, it does some damage.

It's interesting seeing the flood that starts to come down the street during a hail storm. It's intense! Looks like foam, but it's not... all hail and some melted water. It was 85 degrees that day after all.

All that remains of some of the veggies are 1" sticks coming out of the ground. Tops of trees look like winter. At least it grows back and the hail wasn't large enough to damage the roof, siding, or deck... They do have baseball size hail out on the plains you know.
