Wow. I've lived nearly 4 decades on this planet and got within 100 meters of a tornado, survived a 2-day blizzard and seen some crazy shit, but the hail storm tonight sounded like an avalanche was landing on our roof. I went out, got drenched, and picked up 4 of the mothers.

They were bigger than golf balls, nearly tennis ball size. Jeez. I've got 4 in the freezer to show my wife when she's done cringing in the back room of the grocery store with 100 others who got caught out.

Tornadoes in the area, so the kids and I are in the basement, waiting for the inevitable power outage (so if you're seeing this...we're OK for now!!)
