This rain and hailstorm was about fifteen miles east of our place. We didn't get any rain before or when this one was happening, but did get about fifteen hundredths later in the evening. This one that is pictured was too much of a good thing.

Saw that line of storms on the Weather Channel and was wondering if you got any. That looks like one of those times when missing some moisture is a good thing. Hate to see someone else get hit though.

glad to hear you missed the worst of it. we got about a half inch the night before last. i heard there was some pretty bad hail a ways to our north. its nice to get lucky once in a while. there is alot of wheat up in that country yet to be harvested...i hope there still is.

Large hail or small hail..when it's coming down with the wind it'll strip everything in it's path...We got lucky and the hail quit before our place..just got a downpour of rain....again....so much for haying today!

One year when I was in highschool. We had a storm come thru, that had soft ball size hail. I had just washed and waxed my 69 chevy pickup. Ended up hidin in my closet. It beat all the siding off the house, not a window was left, and we had holes in the roof, thru the attic and had hail bouncin around the house with us. Perdy much wiped out the whole town as far as roof's go. Spring months out there, ya don't worry so much about anything under golf ball size. It's when it gets big that it gets skeery.

Oh....and my old truck came outta that storm with two small dents in the hood. The new cars on the lots were beat to smitherines. Right then and there I decided old iron was much better than new aluminum or plastic LOL
