Hail

This is one of those rare nights when we have no cable tv internet service, as I had to get out the air card and plug it into the Cradle Point Router over on the counter.  But it appears that Verizon is up and running.

We had the hail storm from heck here a few hours ago, and it drenched us with golf ball sized hail.  My truck and the Camry are sitting outside, and the motorhome is over in the storage lot about three miles from here.  Not to mention the shingles on the roof of this house and all the other houses here in the neighborhood.  The ground looked like it had snowed.

The hail was hitting the windows of the house but luckily at a glancing blow, so none are broken to my knowledge.  I am certain that the cars will not have faired as well but it is dark outside so impossible to see until morning.

Just have to wait it out to tell how bad we did.  And perhaps that might be the reason that we have no internet on the cable as well.  We do have cable tv so maybe not.

That's OK because we hung around the house all day and read the internet and a book.  It was 87 outside this afternoon, and that was driven by about 30 mph winds, so we have had unsettled weather all day.

Just hope stuff isn't too wrecked!
