Hail Storm

Here are a few pics of the bad hail storm we had. We were pretty lucky, some people had a lot more damage than us.
This is our garden all destroyed. Our corn was still standing but it is pretty beat up and ruined. Everything in our garden was growing so good. We had squash, peas, tomatoes, green peppers, watermelon & pumpkin. At least we got a lot of good peas and I picked one squash before this.

This was my pretty flower bed.

This is the roof over our back porch all dented.
Hail bigger than a quarter. I actually saw some bigger but didn't take pictures.

It was really crazy! The damage stinks but over all it was a little exciting! The kids were still up and Daniel's sister and her husband and kids were over at our house when it happened. The kids were loving it! As soon as it started Daniel ran out to put our Tahoe in the garage and it was coming down so fast and hard he got stuck out in the garage for about 10 minutes. His truck got some dents but nothing too bad. Some of our neighbors had several windows broke and siding off of their houses and bad roof damage.

I'm so sad for you, i know how much work it is to put in a garden and flower beds, and how sad it is to see it all gone. But at least you did get to protect your vehicle.

Sounds like you live in west Texas! Those are the kind of storms we get. They are kinda scary especially when you have to watch for tornado's. Glad you guys didn't get hit harder that stinks about your garden.

We feel for you and your garden. Ours too was ruined--it was SOOOOO sad. My squash is starting to come back--so we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will actually produce some veggies.

Keep your fingers crossed that something comes back in yours too!
