SURPRISE! ICE IN THE HOUSE!

Holy Guacamole!  That was some storm yesterday!  Throughout this entire drought we've been getting once a week weather reports telling us we had a 30% chance of isolated thunder showers.  We quit paying them any mind.  Sometimes we get the thunder, but almost never the showers.

So, yesterday we got a lot of thunder.  And lightning!  Then it even rained a little bit, but of course, it stopped after a minute or so.  But then it came back.  With a vengeance!  And hail!  Golf ball sized hail!  And it went on, and on, and on!  And then we lost our internet connection, so I couldn't even tell you about it.

Ice balls in the flower beds
Yeah, we may have a bit of shattered glass lying around, denuded trees and shrubs, broken branches and newly dimpled cars and roofs, but we don't care.  We got almost an inch and a half of rain!

A few of these ice-missiles flew right past us as we stood on the porch, and ended up in the house!
