Last Thursday was crazy. We were getting ready to eat dinner, when we started hearing loud sounds like rocks hitting the house. We looked outside to see hail the size of a quarter. For the next half an hour, we watched as our garden and yard was pounded. The garden is history except for the corn. Our trees look bizarre as one side is thin due to their beating. Our basement had water due to the hail piling up over the level of the bottom of our window wells. The hail melted and spilled over into the window itself. No damage in the basement. Others were not so lucky. Roads were washed out. Voyager Parkway, the road behind our house was closed as there was an area with 4 FEET of water standing. 30 cars along the parkway were stranded and the passengers rescued. Roads and bridges around town were washed away and this wasn't even around the fire scars. The fire scar areas were flooded but most of the weather occurred around them rather than over them. My friend Julie Hamilton lost her home as she lived along the creek in Green Mountain Falls. It has been a crazy, crazy summer in the weather department.
