Well I think I lost my tomato and pepper plants here at home. The strawberry plants are in shreds. I really hope that my annual bedding plants come back. Our poor trees were just getting leafed out. All these pictures were taken this morning. We still had an inch of hail on the grass at 9am!
UPDATE: My father-in-law just let us know that it looks like the hail missed Amalga and so the pumpkin farm and my garden out there are very, very wet, but not in shreds like here in town. Thanks goodness! It sounds like we got about 1.5 inches of rain in about 45 minutes. Reports are that two storms actually collided right above us. WOW! Several of our ward members didn't fair as dry as us and have flooded basements. What a wild night!
My mother-in-law has lived in the same house for 40 years (a few blocks away from here) and has NEVER had water in her window-wells...until last night. One of her neighbors went to wake her son downstairs just as the water from the overflowing canal ran from their backyard into their windows. Before they could make it up the stairs the glass burst and the water and mud quickly rose to the ceiling. I can't even begin to imagine the lost of personal belongings, let alone all the photos and scrapbooks that were completely destroyed. I am so greatful nobody was hurt and that we are all dry here.
