This is why we can't have nice plants

This is not snow, but hail.  There was wind swirling, and lighting blasting very close by.  I'm waiting for locusts next.  We have no garden left - no tomatoes, no flowers, pretty near no leaves.

Looking out my back door:

backyard hail


And from the front door:

We can get hail like this any time. About 6 years ago we were out of town and it happened even worse - the rivers of hail pushed down the fence and the top wall in the back yard. We had to rebuild the whole thing.

Five hours later and there's still a lot of hail on the grass. There were helicopters and local newsmen out here filming it all.
