Hail

We played one of our most favorite venues tonight, I had looked forward to it all week.
As we walked out of the front door this evening headed for Berkeley Bob's , there were strange clouds and weird light all around us......I looked at Rick and said, "I bet there's hail somewhere."
Twenty minutes later on the interstate, we found the hail.  Quarter and golf ball size hail, beating down on us like a  mad possessed weather experiment.  Cars were pulling onto the shoulders of I65 like crazy,
I kept looking for a funnel cloud.  Ingrid (my car) was pounded without mercy, over and over by those hail stones.  Never had I seen such large stones, never had I seen a hail storm last so long.
Mercifully, Ingrid's windshield remained intact.....when daylight comes tomorrow, we'll see how many dents she has.......in the dark, I didn't see any dents.

So, we made it on to Bob's and had a great show, the crowd was smaller than usual......after April 27th's tornadoes last year, we here in Alabama are gun shy when it comes to the weather.
There is still lightening in the distance tonight, hopefully, all we will get is rain.
I am ready for a cup of hot tea.......
goodnight, sweet dreams
