The weather here has been pretty darn strange lately. We went from hot to having hail storms in just a few hours. And what a doozy of a storm this one was. When the storm started it was just after work and we had some thunder and lightening. That lasted a couple of hours and then all of the sudden I heard what sounded like large fire crackers being set off. It started out as one every few seconds then got more frequent. Before we knew it the hail fas falling like gang busters. You can hear it in the videos. It made so much noise that the cats were really nervous. Shorty made a pittiful meow and was slinking along the floor looking for a place to hide. I grabbed the camera and took these videos they are not very good but you get the idea. The hail storm lasted a few minutes and then quit. When it quit everything quit with it. Everything became real quiet. Except the police scanner. We have had numerous reports of smoke in the forested areas around here. Started by lightning. We noticed the cover on our patio is going to have to be replaced now. It has 13 different cracks and holes in it from the storm. So I guess I will replacing it this weekend.
As I am typing this we have another storm brewing. The "Thunder" has started up again. This could prove to be an interesting night.
The rain has started again. It is kind of neat to sit here and listen to the rain with a big booming thunderclap once in awhile.

Yikes! Those were big pieces, too. Was there any damage to the truck?
The weather there really is crazy.
Love you both.
