Winds and Tornadoes and Hail OH! MY!

Pete and Thad did great with their first big Midwest tornado and hail storms! That particularly loved the aftermath! I think he playd in the hail for over an hour! Pete, meanwhile, steadied himself with a Makers Mark and Ginger (just kidding)!

Thad got out his shovel and decided to play!

He also found out that hail is round and slippery . . . BOOM!

Dad & Thad had a great time measuring the hail, storing some of it in the freezer for later fond remembrance, and scoping out the damage on the house. Our siding has a multitude of chunks missing and the roof will be repaired. We kept all our windows, but our neighbors were not so lucky.

All was not fun and games for everyone. Just over one mile away, people lost their homes and a family lost their three-year-old son. The three of us are very aware that we are not lucky, but very, very fortunate.
