For those of you who watched the short version of the hail. I hope you were able to listen to it. Darn stuff came down for 20 minutes.

And the truck. Well that is as far as our 3 dogs and my husband made it. Can't imagine how loud it was. We ran the length of 3 acres when the first stones hit the ground. No warning. He carried little Libby since her legs are so short.
I did watch the video.

Twenty minutes of hail is a long time. Hope you guys did not sustain any damage.

Thanks. We didn't actually. Truck may have. But nothing to cry about. Roof on the cabin is steel. And not going up there to worry about any possible dents.

Our 3 pups were safe. We were safe once inside. It was an experience. Never have I seen it last like that. I took several videos. The temperature even dropped. Made me respect mother nature more.

Seeing the harsh hail storm vid and the beautiful sky picture reminded me of this video captured on my security camera of the Aurora seen over Georgia.

Oops sorry about that my friend! It was @tbrown that was spreading those lies. 😆 That's what happens when I post before coffee...
