Cold as ice

Hail

We had a pretty amazing hailstorm this afternoon.

Hail

I love thunder and lightening, and especially hail, just so long as it's safe and doesn't cause damage. You know, a "good" storm.

Hail

I'm so lucky to be working from home. If I was still working in the windowless office, I wouldn't have even known it was raining. Instead I got to witness nature at her furious best and photograph the evidence.

  1. Thats awesome! I remember when I was in primary school we had a massive hail storm and the lady across the road from us her front lawn was covered with so much hail you couldn't see any green. It looked so cool!

  4. No hail today, just lots of rain, we had a great hail storm last year, I put pictures on my blog at the time it's always fabulous to have the power of nature where you can see it!

  5. Hail storms are great. I love huge thunder storms too. We haven't had a great thunder storm in forever.

    Hey, did you get my email about the Hexagon template? It was around the time my computer crashed and burned so I'm not sure if it made it.

  6. I'm with you on the "good" storms. I especially like the thunder that shakes the house, too cool.

  7. ooh, that looked like a great hail storm! I think we just got really heavy rain until just before I left work (which was good because I forgot my umbrella).

  8. Love hail as long as it doesn't damage the flowers!

    Love watching lightning - we used to get some doozies in QLd - sit on the verandah with a gin and tonic and watch - better than most movies!

  12. we got the hail here too, but it was weird where it went. My parents are only half an hour away, they didn't get any - or rain either - but only a few kms up the road they got the hail and almost an inch of rain!

  13. We had a little bit of hail while at dinner with family in Beenleigh, QLD. It was such a surprise, and we all rushed outside to have a closer look. It has been so long since it hailed. I remember collecting hail as a child and putting it in the freezer. :)
