12:00 AM: Didn’t expect this! We’ve been carefully watching the weather all afternoon knowing a thunderstorm was likely. Then there was a tornado watch and a ranger coming round to let us know where we’d take shelter if a warning were to be issued. But the storms missed us and the warning was lifted before 9PM instead of expiring at 11PM. Now this. We were already in bed when six minutes ago we saw a forecast of likely hail in six minutes. We scurried outside to take down the awning and stow the chairs, tables, and rug. Now we’re hunkered inside the T@B just waiting…
2:00 AM: Yes, we got about six minutes of heavy rain that may or may not have included a little bit of hail. And it rained most of the last two hours. There’s been lightning in the distance. Not a major storm but for some reason we’re both too keyed up to sleep. Seems hailstorms are not uncommon around here.
08:00 AM: Fortunately we never had a major storm. And it’s delightfully cool and clear. Good morning!
