Raining hail... Ah hail

The end of March we had a severe thunderstorm warning that turned into a tornado watch along with an expected hailstorm. We just got the hailstorm.
It downpoured rain and then it suddenly began throwing down small ice chunks which within minutes turned into marble sized hail. You could hear it hitting the roof and the windows and I became rather worried that it might break a window. Fortunately, it didn't.
Many places around reported golf ball and softball size hail! We were very blessed not to have our windshields damaged or any dents put in our cars. Many cars around had smashed windshields and we saw many "mobile" places or stands where you could file your insurance claim if you were one of the unlucky ones. A co-worker of Jared's had a "totaled" car due to all the hail.
It looks like it snowed here and we are so glad that we had been so busy that our garden was NOT in! We would have nothing to show for all of our hard work.
