Big HAILSTORM strikes

Check out this Texas-sized hail that I picked up from our yard today. It pounded our lawn, pool, and trees leaving a huge mess. Compare the quarter on this plate to the hail. I took a couple of videos and this is the first one.

What an experience it was to have these huge balls of ice or hail pouring down forcefully from the sky onto our house and windows this afternoon! It was bizarre.

Yikes! Looks like hail is the topic of conversation in Austin right now. There were 3 new posts about it! How fun/not good for the car. :)

Sheesh! I haven't seen hail like that in years, even out here in chilly Utah. We did get hail once in July, but it wasn't nearly as big. By the way, I cannot wait for you to come visit. I have lots to tell you!

So funny. My cousin was here and took a picture of hailstones on a red plate that looked just like that. How funny!

NO FLIPPIN' WAY! Those are some scary chunks of ice. I remember hail that big a few times when we lived in Oklahoma, Texas, and Nebraska. Ya gotta love the weather there in "tornado alley!"
