Tornado Warning

Today we had a tornado warning. It was a new little adventure, we didn't actually have any tornado touch ground but we definately got the hail and rain. Brian and I watched the strom come in. It was a little cloudy today but still quite nice and then within like 15 minutes it went from nice to a down pour of hail. It was crazy. I've never seen it hail like that ever. It was nearly a white out from the hail.
We had a warning last spring just after we moved here but we didn't get anything other than winds from it so this was a new experience. This is just the start of tornado season to so I'm sure I will have many more stories to write about. We were really lucky to not have bigger and more hail and rain than we did. In one area they got 2 feet of hail and they had some major damage. We have a few dents in our car but that is all. here are the pictures I took of the hail. The first picture is of the hail that accumulated at our door. The other I went down and picked up some of the balls off of the grass.

They hail is huge, I think I have seen it that size once in my life here. Glad there was no tornado's hopefully there won't be any in the future either.

You guys just have all the fun. We don't have anything cool happen like that. Oh wait, yes we do, how about a little house fire that was a result of high winds, trees and a transformer. I'm glad you are safe.
