Tonight is the night for thunderstorms! Gotta love a good thunderstorm. We are currently just on the front end of the second thunderstorm since I got home from work.
 |
| Here is the first storm that blew through. It brought lots of wind and lots of hail. Just south of our house they were getting golf to tennis ball sized hail. I'm glad I have a garage to park my car in! |
 |
| My attempt to get a picture of a big piece of hail in the backyard. It was raining so hard that I couldn't open the sliding door to get a picture. |
 |
| After a few tries, I got a picture of the big piece in the grass. This piece was about 4 or more feet away from the edge of the deck. There were some bigger pieces {quarter-sized} that landed on the deck but by the time the rain let up enough for me to get a picture, the warm rain had practically melted them already. |
 |
| Here's the beginning of the second storm moving in. |
Right now it is raining like no other. I am sitting in the bedroom and the rain is so hard that I can't even see these houses in the above pictures. The lights are flicking too so I'm sure that we are going to lose power. I just hope all the wind doesn't blow our one live tree in the backyard over - she is a rockin' out there! But on a positive note, I'm glad we stopped attempting to stake our tomato plants up as I'm sure they'd be laying on the ground again once this storm passes and also, I'm really glad a have a covered garage :)
