    Hail storm....

    Well I was sitting in my room minding my own business when I heard some loud noises. Then I heard people going outside and my mom called for me to "come see". So I ran upstairs to see what she wanted. Well it turns out the noises I heard was a sudden but very brief hail storm. My mom had run outside to grab some of the hail because it was so huge. So I took a pic. Keep in mind that the hail had melted a little already.



    Well while I was taking the pic the sky opened up again!! I ran to the front window to get some more pics.

    The street in front of my house.



    My poor poor car....





    Look how much had accumulated on the deck in just a few seconds.



    Finally it was over so I ran outside to get a close up pic.



    *Thanks Ashley*

    hail

    Hi! Did you get any damage from the hailstones? They looked big enough to cause some damage! I hope your car wasn't hurt(little dents).

    I think we've gotten hail once, or that's the only time I remember.

    Very cool! The little hail stones on the ground remind me of 'Dippin' Dots' icecream. He he.

    I'm too scared to go look, LOL I've only had my car for a few months, I don't want little dents all over it. LOL I'll go out and check once it stops pouring.

    That is so cool! I've only seen it once in my lifetime and that was in Texas. Hope your car isn't damaged. That would really suck. I know car businesses have good sales after those because of damage.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I hope your car is ok!

    I had a Nissan Maxima when I lived in Colorado, and we got really bad hail storms all the time, every spring. This was a big white car, and one year a storm caught me out of the highway with no shelter in sight. My poor car got dents ALL over it ... and being white and covered all over in evenly spaced hail dents, it looked exactly like a giant golf ball!!

    Once, a hailstorm broke my picture window, tore up the roof of my house and destroyed my shed.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Eek!!! Well my car survived as far as I can tell. I didn't see or feel any dents so......

    Think I should run out and cover it with a blanket next time? LOL
