We had a lovely hail storm Wednesday...
This is our backyard about 25 minutes after the storm. It was about 75 degrees so half of the hail had already melted at this point.
This was the average size of the hail that pelted us...it had melted quite a bit already
The center white part is a tad smaller than a golf ball
The little one is one of the smallest ice rocks thrown from the sky
***Warning feetsies coming up....
How ridiculous is the size of these half melted pieces of hail
It attacked my poor truck....this is my side view mirror
Just a few of the dents in the hood
Can you believe it...the hail came down so hard it actually shattered the paint on the hood here
The shed didn't fair well either
this is a 3 1/2 inch hole in the roof of the shed
One of the small holes in the roof
Baseball size hole in the tool shed
These are some of the pieces I was still finding 45 minutes after the storm ended
So needless to say we have been cleaning up broken glass, patching holes, fixing fence pieces and generally cleaning up the aftermath. The worst it taken care of so I should be able to get back to posting.

Did anyone else get these freak storms?
whoa, that's scary! Yesterday it rained so hard it sounded like my apartment building was being powerwashed but nothing like giant hailstones. Hope everything gets cleaned up okay!
ReplyDeleteWow, we have never had freak storms like that! I don't think I have ever seen hailstones that big here in Southern England!!
ReplyDeleteKitty xo
Wow! I'm glad you didn't get hurt by any of those hailstones. I hope your insurance company does the right thing. The photo of your tanned foot with summery nail polish on it next to the large hailstones showed an interesting contrast. I hope the cleanup goes easily.
ReplyDeleteWow! those are big. I'm just glad that none of you guys were hurt. I don't think we've ever had hail that big that I remember of. We've had some wacky crazy storms. I hope you guys get all cleaned up ok. :) *squishes you all*
ReplyDeleteZOMG!!!! We had one hail storm a month ago but nothing compared to that!!!!! Someone can get seriously injured with those o__O Impressive how many damage those can make and despite that they look like candies fallen from the sky.... ironic, no?
ReplyDeleteWe have bad hailstorms here every now and then, and I know how crappy cleanup and repairs can be *hugs*
ReplyDeleteUgh, that's horrible! I'm hoping it was just stuff that got damaged, and that no one was hurt. Hail is nasty stuff!
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks so scary! Poor you, I hope everything's fixed up ok! Your toe nails look lovely though :P
ReplyDeleteWow how big are those hailstones! Sorry about the damage to your property, that sucks! Love the Zoya Tanzy polish. Lol you've not got flinstone feet, they're quite cute actually, especially with that pink polish.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen hail that large! I remember when my cousin first moved to Dallas there was a hail storm with hail like you had. He'd never seen hail like that either. He had just bought a new car and thought nothing of trying to put it somewhere to be safe. His car was dented badly. Be careful with your cute little tootsies and the glass.
ReplyDeleteWow! We had some wicked nasty thunderstorms here, but nothing like that! Girl, sorry you had to go through that.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, I was lol'ing over the flinstone feet - hubby always calls my feet that! We're foot twins.
Those ice rocks are really scary!! I'm sorry for the damage you suffered, luckily no one got hurt.
ReplyDeleteOMG I haven't seen a hail storm like that in years! I'm glad you're ok!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie! Somehow I missed this post! Wowza, you sure got some freaky weather, huh? Sorry about all the damage, I hope it's all cosmetic and minor. I <3 that you call your toes 'Flintstone toes', I totally say that I have 'Flintstone feet' all the time, lol! I love my Flintstone feet, I find them charming. Ok, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. We don't often get hail here in Southern California, but on the few occasions that we have, it hasn't been nearly as large as the baseball sized rocks you're showing, that's for sure! Hope everything is ok and all is back to normal. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThat is cuh-razeh! O.o
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP! That is some huge hail! I am sorry to see that so much of your stuff got damaged! That is just awful!
ReplyDeleteIt was the craziest hail storm we've had since we moved here.
ReplyDeleteScared the crap out of me when I heard it. lol Sounded like the housewas being beaten with giant chains.
ReplyDeleteI love my little shorty toes. lol I'm weird like that.
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky and everyone was inside so just stuff got beat to hell
ReplyDeleteI wish some of the bigger ones hadn't shattered when they broke through the roof, I would've liked to have seen just how huge they were.
ReplyDeleteChris gets so mad at me for calling my feet flinstone feet, but really my short little toes look just like theirs. lol
ReplyDeleteOh no. We were worrie about my Father in laws new car but luckily it didn't get damaged.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest ones that we found intact were about 4 inches in diameter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I like my tiny little feets! :o)
We fixed almost everything, just a few little bits left to do. Thank you...pink toes are the best!
ReplyDeleteFortunately nothing too bad, just a lot of little things.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks but I'll take it over tornadoes and floods any day!
ReplyDeleteThey were really neat looking and evil! lol
ReplyDeleteI've seen much worse so I feel quite lucky to have such minor damages.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how in warm late spring giant ice rocks fall from the sky. So strange!
ReplyDeleteI hope you never do see anything like it! :o)
ReplyDeleteSpring weather is always the craziest!
ReplyDeleteIm happy the family was safe...poor car :(
