And The Forecast is......

On Thursday afternoon we had a huge thunderstorm that produced
marble to golf ball sized hail.  We had our first indication it was coming
when chunks of ice began falling from the sky.  No rain, no thunder--
nothing but hail.  We could hear a roar that sounded like the classic
freight train that people talk about in tornadoes.  No tornado but  it
was the sound of the coming hail.  We escaped the broken windshields
that some people experienced; however Bryan's truck has dings.

As of today the area has had 10 inches of rain since Saturday.
We have probably had another 2-3 inches today with more forecast
for tonight.  This shows the ditch that runs under the bridge
leading to the golf course.  The water is just under it.

Tomorrow should just be cloudy but more bad
weather is expected tomorrow night and Wednesday.
Bad weather for golfing :).

down to the bridge under umbrellas.
