Hail

The boys and I went to Barrie for the afternoon to shop. While we were gone Wasaga Beach had a major hailstorm. We could still see the piles of marble sized hail pellets when we got back. There were cars driving by covered in wet leaves and puddles covering much of the roads. Kevin said the noise in the house was incredible from the drumming of the hail on the roof and he could only see 4 houses away the hail was so heavy. Kevin took this picture. You can see the streaks left by hail as it travels to earth. The storm lasted about 10 minutes.


This is our deck. He said he brushed piles of hail the new patio furniture.

This is one of my gardens, now mulched with hail. Some of the other plants didn't fare as well. The veggies are flattened. Hopefully they will bounce back.

I love hail, but I have to admit to worrying about the cars. The stuff is so neat though.

Glad it was only the veggies that got damaged!

We saw a bunch of storms that happened yesterday on the new last night, we didn't get any, just some clouds.
