A storm came through this morning; the leading edge just after 7:00 a.m. (It inspired my poem for today, No Escape.) Temperatures dropped 30 degrees and the wind was fierce. A little after 10:00 a.m., the rain started. And then the hail.

Unfortunately for me, I was driving through the hail storm. The impact sounded like gun shots. There was no place for me to take cover. I really thought my windshield was in danger of breaking, the hail was coming down with such force. There was so much of it, the roads were totally covered in white.

This is the only photo I took, when we stopped for lunch about an hour after the hail storm ended.

Hail and more hail
