Just when we thought the weather around here couldn't get more extreme we were graced with a massive hail storm on Thursday evening- destroying many homes, cars, and crops in the area. We were lucky at our house as the winds were coming 80-90 miles per hour from the north during the hail and we don't have hardly any windows on that side of the house. But many of our friends were not quite so lucky. On the upside, it will keep many people in the service and labor industry extremely busy as many roofs, windows, and vinyl siding will need replaced.
Unfortunately, our dear friends at Old Nelly Farms were not so lucky, as hours upon hours of diligent work in the garden was destroyed in one quick swoop. Please visit their blog at http://oldnellyfarms.blogspot.com/ to read their post.
I posted a couple pictures below of the flood from earlier in the summer and a more recent picture of I-680 and what the waters are doing to our interstate systems. I really have no projection on how long it would take to recover and repair such massive amounts of roads once the water is gone.
