Storms!!!!

[DianaB]

Traci, you wouldn't have liked this storm! Wait until you see the pictures of the hail!!!! I probably have some roof damage. Bummer. My daughter's worried that she may have windows broken. She lives in a double-wide trailer. The hail was the size of softballs, maybe bigger! I just wanted to bawl during the whole hail storm. We have wheat fields and corn fields, well, it's not going to be pretty. We may have another storm coming. People are going to have so much damage.

Diana, I am so sorry about all that damage! You've had a rough time with storms and flooding and now this hail! It's about time you had some GOOD luck! Stay safe. *hugs*

Amy didn't have any windows broken out. The tornado warning is over. There's still a storm south of us but it looks like it will probably miss us. It rained and rained, so we've also been in a flash flood warning. Glen's gone out to check on the fields so I'll know more about them in a little bit. You can still see the hail in the yard. It was so big!!! I have pictures that I'll share tomorrow! Reuger was so scared that he just wanted to be held. The hail sounded like someone was hitting the house with a baseball bat!

{{{Diana}}} Thank God you all got home safely.

Several people saw funnel clouds start down and I've heard on one that was on the ground but I don't think that it was for very long and didn't do any damage, but the hail.....Oh, My Word!!!! It was awful!!!

My SIL said that we had storm chasers in the area. One group had a funny looking car and another had a satelite looking thing on top of their car! There was even a group called Tornado Tour!!!

Here's some pictures that was taken. My freezer is full of big pieces of hail that Kera and Daya carried in!!!

1. Kera and Daya holding one of the hail that they put in the freezer.
2. This shows the hail as it came down. We had to take this from the back door because the front of the house was getting pounded and believe me, you didn't want to be out there!
3. Another picture of the hail as it came down. The rain was pouring down too and because the hail was so cold we had fog develop briefly.

4. Here's some of the hail that was picked up.
5. The hail on the pop can was the largest that was brought in. It was 3" X 2 5/8" and 2 1/2 " tall. It weighed 4.7 oz.
6. This piece of hail looked like a flower in the center. It was the second largest hail that was brought in. It was 3 1/4" X 2 3/4" and weighed 3.4 oz.

I am glad you are ok! The first round developed over us. The second round was nasty during the night. Same, hail rain and really strong wind.
