Geez Louise . . .

Geez Louise, got rear ended day before yesterday and last night got hailed on by a super cell thunderstorm. A tornado set down not more that 6 miles away from us.

It hailed for at least 10 or 15 minutes with some hail stones the size of golf balls. Don't believe me, we have some in the freezer for proof. The hail shredded the trees, knocked all the peaches off the peach tree, pounded the Weeping Willow tree, devastated the Wax Myrtles around the transformer and beat the hell out of our Crepe Mytrles beside the bedroom window. The hedges, really low shrubs in the Holly family along the front of the house, a little bit out of control, are now back to almost nothing.

The back under the Post Oak trees is a carpet of green right now. Several of the Malibu lights, with their self charging curcuits were pounded into the ground. Especially those out front which faces the west took the brunt of the storm.

Judie had just planted some wax leaf Begonias, many of them pounded into the ground. A couple of Hostas that came back from last year and now green heaps, I hope they recover. Dafodills had finished but the green stalks were still growing charging up the bulbs for next year are all flat on the ground now. The Iris were in proud bloom, most of the blooms are gone now. Pansies in the last color of Spring glory, well they are just part of the green ditrimus scattered about. Everything took a beating, even the grass got beat up.

As bad as it sounds, the car dealer around the corner took down his sun covers over his Cadillacs, Toyotas, Chevies, Pontiacs, Hundais, and so on, got the crap beat out of them. They are already advertizing a "Hail Sale." Must have cost them millions of dollars. There are also Suzuki, Datsun, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealers bn the same road. Let's say there was 50 acres of cars out there. Come get a deal - I'm not saying a good deal but there will be some discount.

Not good.

Well now starts the clean up. Start over again.
