Then the rain started.
Now we are being pounded by hail. The hail is hitting the windows hard. Like rocks.
In the picture you are not looking at hail. Those are big raindrops, coming down in downpour mode, taken from my patio, with my camera under my handy Popabrella rain/sun protection device.
I made the Popabrella website several years ago. You can order your very own Popabrella from the website.
It is very dark now, the rain is still pouring. Not being hit by hail, currently. The rumbling thunder seems to be growing more distant. The eerie darkness is making me nervous.
What happened in Joplin, Missouri yesterday, reinforces, yet again, how deadly and destructive a tornado can be.
Some think the metal of trailer parks attracts tornadoes. If metal attracts tornadoes, that big metal structure about 7 miles east of my location, the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, is like a trailer park on steroids.
I suspect there will be no Tandy Hills hiking for me today. I did get in my morning swim. It was pleasant.
