Me vs. The Weather

Big Storms! Wright County under Severe Thunderstorm Warning/Tornado Watch All Night! My small town mentioned BY NAME on the local news as a hot spot for BAD WEATHER.

Well, we need the rain, so when the hail started falling, I ran outside and did my best Stanley Kowalski imitation and started shaking my fists at the sky and yelling, "Bring it on!"

Apparently, I scare God.

We got about 40 seconds of hail followed by two minutes of soaking rain.

And I made The VP fix the drain spouts for this?

Wow, I thought I was the only one that did things like that. Thunderstorms are fun.

You must get some itty bitty hail up there to be running around in it. We tend to get the golfball to baseball sized stuff, and I wouldn't run out in it on a bet.

Oh that's right...you're from TEXAS, aren't you Aelfheld?

Sorry to tease, but that "Everything's bigger in Texas" stereotype was the first thing that popped into my head.

Yeah, it was pea-sized hail. It can sting a bit, but nothing us x-hardy northerns can't handle. ;)

I'd be more than happy to give over that title where hail is concerned.
