From the sky

Shellback Loc: North of Cheyenne Bottoms Wetlands - Kansas
 
A touch of weather yesterday -
Probably have some good size dents in the roof and will have to check it out tomorrow.

The noise was interesting from where the hail hit the roof vs the exhaust vents...

The cats disappeared into their various buildings LOL -

In the first couple of shots you can see the hail stones in the air - either falling or bouncing off the ground - quite interesting to watch and see how high they would bounce. Found a lot of indents in the yard today...

We found leaves and broken tree branches this morning - at least it wasn't so bad that it took all the green off the trees - We were fortunate that we didn't have high winds...

The soda can was not dented when I tossed it in the yard...

Wow, nice catch! We used to get hail like that when I was stationed at the Corpus Christie NAS.

Thanks for the comments -

The inspection revealed the camper took a hit - put a hole in the roof, skylight, exhaust vent covers, battery box and even the hub cover was broken...
The good news is the shop will get it fixed - they're a great crew

The house survived - and hopefully we won't have another round...

Scary stuff...when I lived in Kansas, Hail broke out my car windows. Hail is often associated with severe weather and sometimes tornadoes. Glad you survived with no house damage.

Thanks for looking and the comments -

My phone alerts were very active that night - fortunately there were no tornadoes or 60mph winds where we were -

Don't expect any severe stuff this week but we are expecting more rain... will be watching for lighting too - still trying to get a good shot of the elusive streaks in the sky...
