Stormy Sunday

It was definitely a Stormy Sunday! It was raining hard with thunder and lightning when I came out of church. I had parked pretty close, but was still soaked when I got to the car. There were huge puddles on the sidewalk, so my feet got all wet too. It rained that hard for about 30 minutes, then it cleared up and was sunny for about 1 1/2 hours. Then just as we were sitting down to eat, it started getting darker and darker outside. Pretty soon the wind started to blow and it began raining even harder than it had earlier. Then, the rain turned to hail. The wind was still howling and blowing the leaves and some branches off the big tree. It was hailing so hard that it was making piles of hail. It looked like there was a drift of hail across the driveway. It flattened the corn and tomato plants in the garden. The storm probably lasted for 30 - 40 minutes. We got so busy watching it all happen that our dinner got cold!

This pile of hail by the grill was still there about 3 hours later.

Can you see the hail pouring out of the rain gutter spout on the corner of the garage?

Here's the hail drift in the driveway.

Here's a pile of hail in the flower bed by the shed.

This is a mixture of rain and hail in the rows of the garden.
