Last Saturday, we got hit with a flurry of short but powerful storms! JP was gone at motorcycle classes and they had to go in a few times for lightning. Thankfully they missed the hail. We didn’t. 😦
These are from the front yard, I’m hiding under the protection of the porch!
The hail came down so hard some of them were shattering when they hit the cement driveway.
They were as big as golf balls if not bigger.
Here at the house fields, the damage is minimal. Our fields to the south east have moderate to heavy damage. We are waiting on the insurance adjuster to come. The tops of the corn are broken off and the soybeans are heavily damaged. At least we have hail insurance. We don’t have wind insurance for our previous storm so we are thankful the corn recovered from that.
The little village 3 miles south of us had very heavy damage and a tornado was spotted there. No wonder Phil thought the clouds at our place were rotating. 
JP had his motorcycle classes on Friday night and all day Saturday & Sunday. Nine were in his class and 6 passed the final tests. He was one that passed!! 🙂 He had a lot of fun in spite of the very early alarm settings. He was the youngest by far as he thinks the next youngest student was 35 or so. He had the most experience before the class with being able to ride the fields and lane for the last few years. After learning on gravel, waterways, and crossing the creek, he thought dry asphalt was a piece of cake! 🙂 His certificate will arrive in about 2 weeks and then he can go to the DMV for a new license. All the testing is done. Congrats!!
and sew on...
