Hail: Winter in August

Posted by Ted Hopton on August 10, 2008

I’ve never been in such a furious hailstorm before. My little cottage is literally getting pounded by hail that ranges in size from marbles to golf balls (really, I am not exagerrating). Wind is blowing both rain and hail pretty close to horizental when it gusts. I am not happy that my car is uncovered in all of this.

And I’ve been watching one horse’s odd reaction. Rather than seeking shelter in her run-out shed, she started running wildly all over the field. I wonder what was going through her equine brain.

The storm seems to be letting up now, after maybe ten minutes of intense downpouring and wind, not to mention thunder and lightning.

Very strange to see essentially an ice storm in the middle of the summer!
