    Hail Storm Hits Findlay

    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:

    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:

    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.
