Summer Storm

We had a doozie of a storm last night.....lot's of rain, damaging hail and wind. Fortunately we didn't see or hear more than about 10 pieces of large hail (golf ball size) outside our house but our neighbors to the North by about 4 miles received about 2 1/2 hours of large hail and rain. Needless to say, there was some major flooding in the area and some major damage to houses and cars. The sky was an eerie color of green with clouds swirling everywhere - we had Tornado warmings out for some time. The interstate 90 right the east of our house even was closed for a while because of the amount of water flowing over it and because of the number of cars that became stranded with broken windshields from the hail.

These pictures of course hardly do the storm justice....but I wasn't brave enough to go too much further outside than the front door.
