| I can't seem to get a break on the wheather this year ,but this tops it all egg and golf ball sized hail the biggest I have seen in my life in the area I live. The link below will take you to my website which has a link to youtube for the LIVE action video. There where many casualties in my yard and my parents yard a mile away as well, poor poor plant and trees. and not one dead chimpmunk(striped rats)! guess which ones the large egg...!

| that was like the hail we got two years ago. Afterwards I didn't have a single chair or bird fountain (all plastic) that didn't have at least one hole in it. I had to get a whole new roof and the roof was only 4 years old! And my car had measles! |

I'm so sorry that you lost your plants and veggies. Hopefully things will come back like gangbusters for you.

| 40,000 plus homes got damaged in my area and countless cars and car lots. my whole neighborhod is full of weather chasing roofers from other states (vultures)everyday since then they knock and knock as if no-one came before them my roof is banged up and it was old anyhow so I'm get it replaced by a local guy that is dang near family. I never thought that guys from Florida, Carolina's, and even Cali could be so dang greedy or unawre that there is quite a few good contractors (including me) around here! I have had two sever thunder storms since that whopper that did all most as much plant damage three days ago I collected 250 gallons of water from my gutters in about 15 minutes...POURING rain this also washed away some plants and small vermin( hehehe) the chimpmunks are pests enough I'm going to get some jungle plants to live around here in pots they will feel right at home!

| You got hail and we are getting rain. So much rain that the gardens where I work is flooded. First heavy freeze, then hot weather, now too much rain!! Our island garden which has the longest living wall on this side of the world is flooded. Yesterday morning it was halfway covered. Since it has been raining gangbusters still I'll bet it is completely covered. Now off to the see the video. lol |
