Wow, what a intense last 15 minutes was harry at my house. Huge hail balls coming down, hitting our homes, cars and so much more.
All of a sudden the sky was clear and hearing fireworks, then hail. Crazy!
Did you have any damage?

Hubby just went outside and got some of the balls and threw them in the freezer just in case we have to do an insurance claim.

it wasn't golf ball sized, just small so I don't imagine any damage.

I still can not believe how big the hail was. I missed the last big hail 5 years ago that did so much damage, so I was pretty scared when I heard balls hitting the side of my house, and windows. I called my Dad, and he could hear it from talking to me on the phone. Don't know how my little guy slept through it.

We went out and grabbed some hail balls too- they weren't that big though. Loved watching the lightning!

Was wondering about you guys. We were just north if the storms and it was one hell of a lightening show!

The lightning didn't fase me, that hail was intense, I still don't know how bad it beat up our home, and cars, and I am not about to go out tonight. As long as no busted windows I am fine.
Anna you are crazy, I hate thunder storms

On fox 8 they just showed a video from the Handles close to me. Crazy footage but very similar to what we saw hear.
I would love to see pics

We'll have to check our garden tomorrow- hope it didn't knock any of my tomatoes off the vines.
