A couple of nights ago I experienced my first "real" Texas hail storm. It was rather crazy! Adam and I were out on the couch chillin' when soon we were greeted with thunder and lighting. That is usual for this time of the year, so we didn't think anything of it. Until the first loud crash against our window made us both jump. Less then 30 seconds later golf ball sized hail was plummeting onto the ground. The hail storm lasted only 2 minutes or so, but it was crazy. My poor van sat outside the whole time, but that tank didn't take on any damage. We had a lot of friends who were not so lucky and spent the next day getting thier windshields replaced. Looking forward to more adventures with this crazy Texas weather!

think of it as God giving you "heavenly ice" to chill your drink....at a very high rate of speed. I bought my first car on a Saturday and a hail storm totaled it the very next day.
Aw man! We had a lot of friends whose cars looked like they had been a target at a gun range. I am shocked that the mini van survived without anything. I have new respect for that loser cruiser!
