Storms came through again yesterday but this time they dropped hail on us larger than golf ball size. We had went out for a quick lunch and had ran into Target. I could hear it as I shopped, the rest of the family watched it outside. It came through where we lived before it came over the shopping center. This was the hail probably 45 minutes after it had hit our home. 
It was still pretty large after that long. What is horrible is that we always pull our van in the garage if a bad storm is coming and after all those times with no hail........this time we were caught off guard and it was left out. It was bigger than golf ball size when it came down, some areas had baseball size! Yes, we have very visible dents in our lovely van, have already called our insurance company. I will post photos of it in the next couple of days, a shadow was on it by the time I was taking photos and you couldn't see them well. Probably a dozen at the least.
I received this beautiful print from an original acrylic painting by Artist Victoria O'Neill simply for leaving her a comment!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, my luck has been improving lately! Sorry, the photo isn't super clear....been up all day baking and am posting this Friday night. Thank you so very much Victoria!
Happy Easter !!!!!! Love and Blessings to All !
A few days, U.A.E confronted with hail too...people were very eager to see it. It was at night & at first people thought it's earthquake. It was about the size that you have showed in the pic. Now I wonder,next where is it going to hail...

ReplyDeleteLove your title! I'm still laughing. But oh, my, what a pain in the patootie, that hail. Like I said the other day, if it's not one thing it's another. Whatcha gonna do?
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Easter, yourself. Eat a piece of dessert for me.
cannot believe how big that hail was......maybe you could paint all the dents in the van, and have a polka dot ride.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting. You are a lucky lady. I am glad the storm didn't do major damage. I hope you had a Happy Easter.
