What the Hail?

Yes, that's a silly play on words, and yes, it did hail today in Houston. It marks the first hailstorm of my time in Houston, and hopefully it will be a while before the next. Thankfully, though, we (Chris, David, and I)were given the heads up by Scott (he works at the church) and moved our cars to the back portico. All told,we squeezed seven or eight cars underneath the cover. Thankfully so...the hail was fairly large (as you see below). We had racquetball / tennisball sized hail (at least one or two of them) but mainly some icy golfballs. The hail below is some of the larger stuff. I could see bigger pieces out in the field, but I opted not to get them--I didn't feel like getting jacked in the head by falling ice. Oh yea, the hand model is Chris...I figured you wanted to know...

Oh, Hail
