October storm
It was over eighty degrees today, but a cold front hit us this evening. What does that mean other than a twenty degree drop in temperature?
Rain!
Tornadoes!
Hail!
Floods!
Actually, we only got three out of four. No tornado.
Golfball sized hail pretty much shredded the front and back gardens. It even smashed up one of our remaining pumpkin plants so much that we had to pluck the pumpkin prematurely. It's resting comfortably in the kitchen, recovering from its pummeling.
Poor plants. The tall things with the red seeds are castor bean plants (also known as ricin trees at our house) and they pretty much had all the leaf stems broken. We'll have to cut them down now. And they'd just hit about eight feet tall, too, dammit.
It's supposed to storm throughout the night, too. Hopefully it'll be a little less destructive.

We got that on Monday night. The sky went all green/yellow around 6:00pm=\ and the kids all went outside to play in the "raining leaves." I checked the radar coz it looked like Dorothy weather. The cell had materialized out of nowhere just to the north and east of us, but we didn't get a single drop of rain. Nearby towns got thrashed. I had to tell our neighboring Turks upstairs what that color sky means, silly people!!
Sorry about your plants - hope they pull through :)
