Hail!!


We did get a few minutes warning so we put all the hanging pots under cover.
 These are the size of golf balls!!
 Two holes in a patio table.
Just a small sample of the foliage from different plants and bushes.
This hail was after a few seconds!!

 Most of my tomatoes are sheltered, thank goodness!



These three pictures are the roof over our deck with three holes smashed through.

The hail actually took the door bell thing off our door and it ended up on the driveway. We have a thermometer, like a clock, on our garage, that was smashed.
After a terrible winter with so much snow and now with a summer full of hail storms, this is getting really tiresome, to say the least.
At least our vehicles were in the garage.  Our neighbour doesn't have a garage so her 2018 vehicle is now full of dents.
What next?!!!

  2. Blimey that's frightening! We often complain about our weather here in the UK, but we don't have extremes anything like other countries have, we tend to forget that.

    1. I have never seen hail that big before. We were scared it was going to break the windows!

  3. Unbelievable! I have heard about hail the size of golf balls but never seen them. Heard about the damage they can do but your photos really show their power.
    Incredible

    1. Our house is completely open beam-we have no attic. It sounded like bullets hitting the roof and windows!!

  6. I'm still finding broken pieces on the tomato plants and flowers. They show up a couple of days later when they start to wither and die!
