Tuesday afternoon, what started out to be a thunder storm turned wild in a hurry. Ed was outside and felt the sting of the hail. It looks a little like an asteroid bombardment in a sci-fi movie doesn't it? The hail would bounce perhaps 18" when it hit the grass. Here in the house it was like being inside a popcorn popper. What a racket! I don't know how long it lasted, but it seemed like forever.
Ed went out in the rain to retrieve some hail stones for me to photograph. I didn't want to get my camera wet. (Yes, he's a prince, but he's taken!) It was still hot so they melted fast.
After the rain stopped I went out and took this picture of the hail on the patio. It was amazing.
The shapes of the ice were quite interesting. This one had an interesting design with clear and opaque areas. Very soon another storm blew in. The electricity went out. We had one of those frustrating evenings off the grid, fooling with the generator. The power came back on about 10:00. The internet was off until Wednesday afternoon.
