Yikes. Quarter-sized hail. When the random “pink… pink…” became a rapid “thunk..thunk”, I dashed outside to move my car into the (detached) garage. Then I had to wait out the worst of it there before I could dash back into the house. These little beauties rolled in while I waited. Ain’t they purty?
Hail! Hail! …

As I write this, it hasn’t even rained here. We’ve had some lightening and thunder, but that’s it.

We got a bit of hail. But roh’s and my cars have enough big leaves and branches to deflect it Dr. P and Jimmy are at a concert at Davy’s Upstairs, so his car is in the open…. Yijes,

Yikes indeed. The weather guy made it sound like the worst of it was closer to downtown. I think he mentioned the term “walnut”.
