We've had ridiculously hot weather this week. Today hit over 92 and with this comes
severe thunderstorm warnings. Tonight we had one. It hit suddenly causing
flash floods, hurricane force winds,
golf ball sized hail and major damage everywhere. We lost many limbs, some huge, but Heavenly Father kept us safe and all damage here is minor. The largest limb smashed into the roof near the
front porch door and is now resting on our power lines leading into the house. The scariest part is that David and I were on the porch closing windows and watching some of the hail when it hit the house. The wind was so strong and the rain so heavy you couldn't see the cars parked out front. I just saw something coming at us (the tree limb) and it sounded like people shooting at the house with guns (hail). It all cleared up in about 20 mins and the sun was shining but damage is severe in the area.
Our house after the storm. We're lucky that limb missed the car, and there is an even larger one stuck in the tree above.
The base of the huge limb.
If you look closely you'll see two black power lines coming towards the house and the very large limb laying on top of them. The limb is the size of a tree itself.
A better view of the massive limb.

I know how the gun shots sound like. Our roof is totaled and our car has 10,000 dollars worth of damage from the storm that hit us in May. Talk about weird weather!!!
