Hell's Hail



Today has been a fine day again but the night has been a real nightmare. Ice balls as big as a golf balls have been falling from the sky by 3 am. This morning, my mum's beautiful garden was a mess and all the trees and flowers were slashed. But it was even worse at my sister's place a few kilometers away as it created a flood and their family house was inundated by a - difficult to get rid of - muddy slush. You really realise in these situations how impossible it is to fight against the elements. (The picture above was taken by 9 am while it was already nearly 30 degrees celcius outside but the ice was far from having already melted).
