Well, I came home yesterday after a fun weekend with the folks in Meridian, and it was a nice pretty day. I came inside, cleaned up a bit, and opened some windows to let the place air out.

I sat down at the computer to do some gaming, and 20 minutes later a lightning flash lit up the room like a halogen lamp, and thunder shook the walls like an earthquake! I had to quickly shut all the windows again, and watched out the window as one of the heaviest rains I’ve seen since HurricaneIvan came through. Clinton was deluged for 20 minutes straight, including some nice marble-sized hail that I’m sure will keep the body shops in business.

I was afraid a window was gonna break the way everything was hitting it, but I hear we lucked out. Vicksburg had inch-sized hail (lots of damage here), and Louisiana had 4-inch size hail. That’s friggin baseballs from the sky!

And to think, if I had left Meridian 30 minutes later I would’ve been driving in it.
