Hail the Size of Ceramic Frogs!

My hometown of Gallatin has become the focus of national media attention since Friday's tornado which killed seven and created lots of photogenic carnage. Lydia and I are fine, athough the school where she teaches art was right next to the tornado's path and suffered some damage. More on that later.

Anyway, here are some pictures I took of the hail in my yard after the stom cell passed over.

The hail was really loud, but it didn't seem to have damaged anything. More likely explanation: everything I own is already damaged, so I wouldn't have noticed anyway.

Some of them were smooth, but some of the hailstones were really spiky.

I'll be back later with a helicopter image of the area around my wife's school. Be safe!
