Time to get the “hail” outta this storm

5 10 2010

Today in the Valley of the Sun, it felt like home.

Cloudy, cooler, rainy. A fall day in the Northwest, only in Phoenix. And then at around 4:30 p.m, the clouds got really dark over my neighborhood, darker than even Seattle clouds.

When the rain started to fall, I went in the house. Then the sound of hail stones hitting the roof of the house came, like cannon fire.
Weatherpeople on the local news are talking about not having seen a storm like this ever.
Here’s what I’m talking about:

Happy to report that other than a flooded back yard and some yard debris scattered around, the house and ourselves are OK.
