Hail Storm

If you live in Oklahoma City, you know about the hail storm that rolled through town on Sunday. Unfortunately, the worst of it was not far from us. Our next-door neighbor, who has lived in his house since it was built, said that there has not been hail like this in the 60 years he's lived here. You can't make out the damage from this picture, but our cars are covered in dents, both of our windshields are cracked, and the two tail lights were broken on the green car. My mom says that she doesn't regret coming to visit us on Sunday, even though it meant her car got pelted, too.

There is my mom's feet. Can you believe our yard was covered with hail that size?

Brent scoffed at my insistance that we take the standard ruler and hail picture, but it's got to be done. These were just a few of the hailstones that my mom collected a little while after the storm.

Last, but not least, here is a little video I shot while the hail was coming down. Brent laughs at the comments that my mom and I make.
