Oh my..HAIL

Today started off as a nice, typical day. All four us slept in, went to Walmart and had a nice lunch together. The girls and I went to the pool with Nana, then came home to take naps. After I fed Lucy and Laney dinner, we headed to the Y and from there to the ballgame. On the way from the Y to the ballgame it sprinkled a little bit and I checked the weather. Checked the radar on my phone...nothing. Went into the ballgame, watched maybe an inning and then it started.

Started raining a little.



Then a lot.



Next came little hail.




Then big hail.



Then bigger hail.



All in all, it hailed for 30 minutes. The girls and I were in the stands with some other wives and thankfully my parents. (Thankfully as in I stay calmer when dad is there, not thankfully that they were exposed to this too) We watched and thought there is going to be some damage, but I was not prepared for what I saw when we finally made it to the car. And making it to the car meant running with Laney in my arms in the rain through massive puddles. Dad carried Laney and Mom carried our stuff and we all got SOAKED. This was the damage.


The hood of my car.

Kevin's windshield. The little circle is a crack.



The passenger side of my windshield. At least eight separate cracks where hail it. The driver side also has a big crack but it didn't photograph well.



The front of my car.

Oh no! That is crazy! So sorry that happened to your car. We have not had a good rain in two years so send some of that south (but not the hail) :)! Hopefully everything can be repaired! Have a great weekend.
