Hail, Hail, the rains all here!




Hail fell for a short while at home on Saturday. This photo was early into the storm so it does not show as much "white stuff" as fell a few minutes later. It was about small marble size down to pea size and kind of mushy so it did not do any damage that I could tell. The dog walked in it and was all excited, as were the family! This is unusual for central California. At the same time this was happening, there were tornados in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Much damage and some deaths. Some in Springfield, MO where my cousin's daughter lives. I called back to Missouri on Sunday and talked with them. All was well and not much damage for them. A tree or two fell down, electricity was out for a while and their driveway was washed out, but easily repaired with some more gravel and a tractor, which they have.
