Hail? We got some!

Published by at 12:50 am under Bits & Thoughts

Hail pile 500Indeed!   Last night, for the 2nd time in 3 days we were pelted with a lot of wind, rain, and more hail!  On Tuesday, we experienced a daytime storm with quarter-sized hail.   By the time I remembered to grab my camera after the hail & rain had stopped, it was far too late for successful photos.  Of course, the hail began after 3:00 a.m. this morning, and after checking the radar via television, we eventually slept.  So when did I get these Hail close 500photos of the hail “pile”?  We actually spotted this pile of hailstones near the deck, at noon today!   This hail was frozen as a pile at least 8 hours after the storm!  (My Croc shoe is there merely as a reference point.)    So far, all is quiet tonight!  Ahhhhhhh, silence can be a good thing!   

Here’s to a sweet weekend, everyone!

    Hope you get more sleep tonight, Bev! And I’m glad you had nothing more than just hails.

    Wow! That blows me away! We didn’t have any hail at all in our area of Dallas. And I didn’t even know it rained last night, I don’t think it did in our area. Wild!

    oh, sweet tex, i thought maybe you were like cinderella and left your “slipper” there as you ran away 🙂 we got the remains of your bad weather last. we at a restaurant when our sirens went off. i was a little startled when i heard the manager say “walk-in cooler” ~ meaning that’s where we’d all have to go if a tornado was spotted!

    needless to say, we finished up and got home to our basement! 🙂

    love ya, honey! mwah!
