Holy cow. This is one street up from me, apparently half an hour ago.

For my remote friends: We just had a zero-to-60 thunderstorm featuring horizontal rain and pea-sized hail, sweeping right in from a fine blue day. And it isn't the first time it's happened this week, either.

Ye gods.

Somehow I missed the hail. Maybe I just couldn't see it behind the dense mist of rain.

You sure you're not in Wisconsin or Iowa? That's what most of the state looked like a couple weeks ago.

The difference is that here, it dries up again in an hour or so.

Or rather, it all eventually gets into the storm drains, which aren't built to handle high-volume torrents of this sort. (Or so runs my best understanding.)

Wow, this makes me really glad I rescued kitties instead of going to CVS to get my drugs like I was supposed to...I would of driven...well hopefully not INTO it, but would...not of been able to drive?

I ran out and got a few hailstones to show to the little Kahuna Meatball. I was actually happy it hailed so he could see it, because we'd talked about how hail formed....
