| The rain had stopped, and the K-boys and their cousins were out jumping on the trampoline last Saturday. Then the hail just started hammering down without any warning. The sound was incredibly loud banging on our metal roof. |
 |
| Most of the hail was golf ball size, with some as small as marbles and others as large as tennis ball size. |
 |
| It took a while for the ice balls to melt. |
 |
| K7 and I decided to give our cattle and sheep a little treat after their rough treatment from the hail. They were all happy to see us and the treats (alfalfa cubes). |
 |
| Most of their paddock became very soggy, so we had to move them to higher ground and with tree cover. |
 |
| A heavy mist started to roll across our little glen while I was spreading the last of our grass seed on bare spots in the corral . Then lightening and thunder cracks returned overhead, so we beat a quick retreat back into the house. |
Yikes is right! The animals are okay, whew. How did the hail affect the automobiles and trampoline?
ReplyDeleteThe trampoline is okay - it didn't get blown away and the ice balls just bounced off without effect. Can't say the same for our three vehicles. The hail bounced off okay, but left lots of little dents! K2 and I drive work trucks, but I will be calling our favorite auto insurance company regarding Mom's car.
