I heard thunder and thought I should go out and get the mail before the heavens opened. A few paces down the walk, a streak of lightning lit up the sky RIGHT OVER MY HEAD, accompanied by the loudest *crack* I have ever heard. After hastily picking up my skin and stepping back into it, I scurried inside and stood panting as I contemplated the mail and just how important is it to empty the mailbox every day, anyway?
Here is what it looked like just a short while later.
Hail on the ground.
Hail in the air. I think this picture is very cool. Especially the part where it was a complete accident how it turned out. Those really are giant hail stones caught in mid-air, folks.
Hail, hail, everywhere!
This is, like, the closest we will ever get to snow here. I am sure the roads were a nightmare. People in California have no idea what to do when weather happens.
