Oh Hail NO!

Wow this has been one day of wacky weather. This afternoon the sun was shining bright, and all of the sudden there was a very loud sound on the roof, it was hailing! Thade ran to the door, and we watched the hail hit against the cars. When the storm had passed I ran out to collect a few of the marble sized hail, and let Thade check them out.

This evening it has been severe storm warnings, and tornado watches. Around 4 tornadoes touched down about an hour and a half  south of us and the storms did major damage. We still have some awfully high winds this evening. I hope that the bad weather stays away, and so do those tornadoes!

    Thanks Mimi! During the Spring and into the Summer it is tornado season, we get a lot of severe thunderstorms, and occasionally a tornado. Every year I look forward to the warm Spring weather, but not those awful storms.

    Thanks Ellie! I thought the title was funny too ;) We get some scary Spring weather around here, and it is just the start of the Tornado season. I just hope we don’t see too many bad storms this season.
