It’s hailing

It’s hailing right now (I just took this from the hail on my balcony):
Yeah… storms are bad (supposedly we had the small hail), already had at least 5 tornadoes reported with (so far) four or five fatalities at a Boy Scout Camp (Little Sioux Scout Ranch). We’ll have to check on the car when it all stops. The news just reported that the street that runs by my work has flooded over the bridge there… it’s raining at about 2 inches an hour now. Ugh. Here’s a shot from the storms I took two days ago:
I swear, it’s never ending here. More if anything develops (power keeps flickering… dunno how long it’ll last).
