Hail Damage


Madelyn holding an Egg size piece of hail "oh mommy its cold!"


Some comparison shots of just how big some of the hail was




Just too darn cute for 6am


Our poor umbrella took a beating and flew out of the stand and across our yard.


Just as the hail storm started

It was before 6am when we are wildly awaken by a severe hail storm. We have had hail before, but never this large nor for the duration. It was pretty scary to hear quarter and egg size hail hit the roof and windows! We are very fortunate only to have minor cosmetic damage to the house, a mangled patio set and our cars look like small pox survivors. The storm lasted for about 15 minutes of heavy hail and then rained the rest of the day. Some of our neighbors had some pretty bad damage to their roofs and I have seen a lot new roofs going up lately. It's an amazing sight to see, I just wish it didn't bring so much damage with it!
