My biggest rain and hail storm ever!

June 7, 2016June 7, 2016 / Laura Lee Carter

Last evening it started pouring rain around 6:15 pm and didn’t stop. Then the hail started falling on our steel roof and scared the cat. Half-inch diameter hail started pelting us with a vengence!

It just kept coming for over an hour, with larger hail ever more threatening. The county road outside was running down hill like a river!

When it finished we had 3.4 inches of rain in one hour!

P.S. Just learned about this great video about Southern Colorado!

Good Pat! We were wondering how your garden fared with all of that hail!

Wow! I remember being in a hailstorm in Colorado once long ago, and it was terrifying! Glad it’s over. Now off to watch that video. 🙂
