Last night we were hit with hail the size of Golf balls. There was an auction going on down the street and with tornado sirens going off, downpouring rain and golfball size hail, the people kept coming! Here are some of the pictures I took:

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Now for the pictures of the people who parked along our street to go to the auction:

This is the car of my neighbor's son who is home from college for the summer.

This is Christy's van - she pulled it up as close to the garage as she could - if you look close you can see a crack started at the left hand top of the windshield. The top had lots of dents.

And the aftermath of melting hail, more rain:
This is the neighbor's back yard:
The storm drain between his and our yard
And my pond reaching overflow status:
My flower gardens are suppose to be in the Findlay area flower tour in July. But so many things were damaged, we'll have to see.
Oh yeah and one final picture of Smokey, hiding in the hallway - he knew exactly where to go where there were no windows (as we don't have a basement) At one time, Christy and I, Jasmine and Dominc and 6 dogs were in the bathroom.

Gosh, that was quite a hail storm!! Such a shame about your plants, but at least you're all safe.
"I don't know which weapons will be used in the third World war, but in the fourth, it will be sticks and stones" --- Albert Einstein.
I'm sorry that this happened but I'm glad that you're all okay. I hope you won't get a lot of flooding next.
Ouch, Ouch. Those hail stones hurt. Sorry about the cars.
We had these in Indiana, but not where I live ,this time.
Smokey is pretty smart in his choice of safe places. My Smokey rides out
the storm in the bathroom & Maggie prefers a spot under the dining room
table.

Smokey is storm-trained for sure! Wow, make big mess, Mother Nature.
I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

Yikes! I'm so sorry about all the cars and your garden, but I'm glad you are all safe. i'm starting to dislike spring storms almost as much as winter snow storms.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Oh goodness!! Hope Christy's van is an easy fix and that the flowers bounce back.

What an experience! I cannot believe the size of the hail - and I am surprised that you didn't have more damage than you did.
What a shame about your flower gardens - but July is a bit away so
everything might recover by then.
I am just glad that you all were safe. Smokey is looking good - his coat is beautiful.
We get them where I live....every couple of years we get a bad one.
About 10 years ago almost every house here in Armidale had to have their roofs replaced, and pretty well every motor vehicle that wasn't in a garage was damaged badly.
