Snow in July...


Not really but close enough. Last nite a wild storm came through town causing power outages, trees and limbs torn down, leaves all over, and pea size hail with up to 6 inches in places. Jake and I were on our way home from a friends around 10:30 pm enjoying a little rainstorm. When the car in front of us slowed down and hail with standing water was cover the highway. We were very lucky the storm had already passed over leaving its trail. At home everything was standing up and we had power as well. The only areas that saw damage were the flower and vegetable garden. So Jake and I went out into the neighborhood checking it out. On a normally busy street a car was stranded in about 6 inches of hail. They were digging out the tires and eventually had to pull it out with the help of another car. It was pretty amazing to see the difference from our house and just a few blocks away, we did not get nearly that much hail. Hopefully we do not have a repeat performance tonite.
