The storms started up. The first one roared through quickly with just rain & wind. The most damage was a tree blown down into the street near a neighbor's house.
The next one that came through about three hours later was the one that hurt. Heavy rain pouring down and lots of hail...some pretty big.

| We found some bigger ones later after it quit raining. |

The rainbow after the storm.

Once it quit raining we walked out to look at the garden. Not pretty.
 |
| Sweet corn is pretty well stripped. It's fortunate only the last four rows to the right were left to ripen. They may be OK. |
 |
| Was the watermelon patch. Melons may or may not ripen. |
 |
| Cantaloupe...I hope they aren't completely ruined. Littlest grandson loves cantaloupe & these were planted with him in mind. |
 |
| The poor butternut squash. I hope some are far enough long to finish ripening. |
 |
| I'm afraid the tomatoes might be a total loss. They look pretty bruised & will probably rot. |
 |
| The experimental horticultural beans...we may never know what they were supposed to do. |
And finally, more big hail and dented pickup hood (though the dents don't show up that well.)
I hope these storms are done!
