Wow!!! Tuesday I'm working in Warwick, RI and hear an occasional rumble of thunder most of the afternoon. Then about 4:30ish I get an email from Sally saying, "Holy Cow!" and describing the scene at our house. Seems we got pelted with hail.
I got home about 5:45 (a full two hours after the storm passed) and took the picture to the left showing the size of the hail. Yeah, yeah, it's not softball sized hail like they might have in the Midwest, but this is New England. We don't get hail like that.
I took a few more shots as another "wave" of thunderstorms was approaching. You can see
from the picture on the left the eerie colors. Definite thunderstorm approaching (including more hail).This next picture is just an example of the damage the hail did to most of our plants. The hostas in particular did not fair well.
The picture to the right show the damage done to our neighbor's kale. She lost almost all of her lettuce and kale. Needless to say, she was quite disappointed.
We'll have to wait to see how our veggies make out. They look pretty beat up.
Such is life "Living in Dabucket".
