Austin Hailstorm

Check out all the hail!! It lasted for about 15 minutes & Jarrod was still about 5 minutes from home so his truck got pounded. Of course, the minute he pulled in the garage, it stopped! There were for sure golf ball size and I know some that I heard hit the roof had to be baseball size!! I thought our windows were going to bust out. Kinda scary! I was going to take pics of our pretty flowerbed that we worked so hard on last weekend, but all the flowers we planted are pancakes now & all the pruning we did, well, let's just say our bushes got a little more pruning with the hailstorm so they're kind of naked now. One little interesting tidbit is that the 3 most expensive/severe hailstorms that Austin has ever had have been on March 25. We'll definitely be ready next March 25!


yes, there is a yard out there under all that hail!

Our driveway was covered in limbs & leaves from our tree -- it was almost solid green.

So since I'm not going to post pics of our sad looking flower bed, here is a rose that Jarrod saved me from our rose bush that I worked so hard at pruning. I didn't want to clip any limbs that had a bud, but this one had to go and I was so sad so Jarrod kept it for me and put it in water.

Wow! We got the winds, but not the hail. That was crazy!
