Hail Storm 2012

Just when we thought we were making progress on the house we got hit with a severe hail storm tonight Thursday July 26.  I have never seen a hail storm like this before.  After the storm was over we were talking to the neighbor and he said that he is 64 years old and has never seen a storm like it before.  There isn't a car in town that was out side that doesn't either have a severely cracked windshield or windows completely broke out of it.  We were both working over on the house when it started to thunder and lightening and the wind started to blow and then there was this weird sound and Delbert said I think we are going to get a storm so we better put thing inside.  I no sooner got inside and I looked out the front window and I saw something large and white bounce off the front lawn, then I heard something hit the house, and then again.  All of a sudden there was large hail coming like crazy and Delbert was out back in the shed and all I could do was stand there and watch things on the house get damaged and think WHY.  We have worked so hard and now we have to start again.

Some of the Hail

I can't believe how big it is.  It would hit the lawn and then bounce up about 3 feet

I did have good looking tomato plant's before the storm

So much for New Eaves Trough .  They have only been on for two weeks.  They Hail split them open

The picture doesn't show what our truck looks like but this is  kind of what it looks like.  I will try and get a better picture

Hood of Delbert's work truck

Broken rock that goes on the front of the house

Broken front window at Anderson's House, the place that we are house sitting for.  The sky light is also broken as well as all the roof vents.  Delbert said it looks like the shingles are going to have to be replaced.

From small to big
