Perfect (or lucky?) timing

I began running at 11:45 this morning. If I'd started 15 minutes later, I'd have been caught in some big hail.

Hailstones like that make an impressive sound when they smack a road or car. Imagine what it'd feel like if it crashed into you. Not nice.

Mary and I made it back to the car and stopped at the Taco Bell in Desoto just when the hail hit. Stones like these were falling all around. One car in the lot lost the back windshield.

Some of the hail stones were nearly tennis ball size. Solid ice tennis balls falling from the sky. Amazing.

As Homer Simpson might say, "hailstones...mmmm."
