The other day, Aug 10th, we had a missive hail store in our little neck of the woods. In fact, just as it started James and I were headed home form going to the movie 'Smurfs" . When we got out of the movie it was starting to rain. Big lovely drops , making a big "Splat" as they hit the ground and the pick -up. We hopped in the truck and head to Wendys for a burger and then hurry hope beofre it got to bad.....tooo late....

We were caught on the way home in the biggest hail storm my eyes had ever beheld. There was zero visiblity, hail coming so hard and fast that the wipers couldnt keep up.

We had to pull over as far as I could for fear that a semi might come up behind us and to be able to see us or stop. The hail broke the ventshades...dented the hood and sides of the truck. Wow is all I can say. I was able to see ahead for a few feet and took off for home..only to have to stop again. Then it did clear a bit and I took off for home having to drop it into 4 wheel drive to make it up the slight incline. It was like driving on marbles.

As we turned the corner to home it has just a super hard rain with hail mixed in. I pulled into the driveway...only to see a house with a broken window, and siding that was in a mess or holes. It was a very bad storm!
