Crazy Hail Storm

We had the storm of a lifetime last week...at least I don't ever remember having a storm like this before. Lots & lots of rain and hail the size of quarters! It came down so hard I thought it was going to break my windows. We did get water that came through the windows in the basement and the office upstairs and had a small piece of drip edge on the roof that was damaged. Luckily that was the extent of it...easily fixed. We were grateful cause there were broken windows, downed telephone polls and lots of damage to cars all over the valley.

It looked like snow piled up against the fence.

The front door.



Thank goodness Larry went to work that day cause his truck is normally parked right where this very large branch from the neighbors tree fell.


The playset out back took a pretty good beating too. The hail took chips of the stain off all over it so until I restain next Spring it's gonna look like it has chicken pox.

Larry also got stuck on the runway waiting to take off when the hail storm hit. They had to return to the gate to inspect for damage before they could leave. This was one of the very few times I've actually been worried about him flying.

It was an exciting, scary storm and I'm glad we pulled through with minimal damage and everybody was safe.
