Autumn Hail Storm

About 20 minutes after getting home with the kids this past Wednesday evening, an enormous hail storm blew in. Kevin and I have never seen anything like it. The kids were pretty scared (it was really loud) so we spent some time in the basement. When it was over, we came back upstairs we went outside and marveled at our backyard with it’s quarter-sized hail pieces scattered among the autumn leaves.


We brought bowls outside and the kids started collecting the hail pieces. Did I mention it had been 82 degrees during the day? It was so weird to suddenly have ice covering everything.

The hail damaged both cars. But even worse, our slate roof is in very bad shape now after the storm. Along with the gutters, window casings, and a couple of screens. So it looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time on the phone this week trying to put things back together.
