Today's Hailstorm

This afternoon about 6:00 PM, my daughter called to tell me to go out and get a photo of the full arc of a rainbow against a dark sky to the east of us. I did so, but it started to rain, a heavy downpour, too wet to go out there! Then it started to hail, good sized hail stones too. From under the porch roof I shot a picture of the hail hitting the hood of my car, shown in pane #1, then I shot a picture looking west where the sun was shining at the same time the hail was pelting the ground, as seen in pane #2. Finally, pane #3 shows the rainbow I originally went out to get. By this time it was covering only part of the sky. Quite an experience! I hope the three-photo panel above gives you an idea of what happened.

Wow, that looks like pretty big hail. Fun to watch, unless it was denting your car or chipping the paint.

Nice job on all three, Vern. Hope the truck wasn't damaged. Some Spring greeting, eh? Vote.
