Oh Hail...



Our neighborhood made national news yesterday! We had two funnels forming directly over the neighborhood (I have never seen clouds move in such a way, very interesting) and two just north and south of our neighborhood. Hail came in four waves and the first contained golf ball sized icecubes! Luckily for us we had both cars in the garage and no damage was done to the house that we have found. The neighborhood as a whole was not as lucky, shutters were torn down, the lawns look ravaged, and every car parked on the street is going to need new windsheilds and a good dent specialist! There are some GREAT pictures on 9news.com (http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=139848&catid=339). We spent the first two major hail storms in the basement because our area's tornado sirens were sounding; this was when the funnels were forming ontop of and circling around us. The video and picture are from a final "mini" hail storm at about 6pm.
