August Hailstorm

Interesting weather in the middle of the summer… A hailstorm passed over my house yesterday afternoon. The temperature dropped from 85°F to 59°F in about two hours.

The storm started with a slow rumbling thunder as it moved in. Then bright flashes of lightning followed by loud booms of thunder, followed by rain. Then more rain. Then lots more fat rain. Then small intermittent icy rain. And finally – hail. Loud chunks of big hail.

My dogs didn’t know what to think about the noise outside, so I opened the door and let them lay down and watch the storm. Dee-oh-gee crept closer and closer outside until he got hit on the snout with a chuck of hail. He backed in the house after that.

I let them out to and play after the storm passed and they started eating all the little balls of snow. Check out more pictures on my Facebook album: “Summer Madness.”
