what the hail

[jazzfish]

I went out for dinner with a couple of writer-type friends yesterday. There was a huge brown cloud hanging over downtown, soaking up all the light. It looked decidedly thunderstorm-y, which is not a look we get often out here. I picked up the pace and got indoors before any precipitation actually started.

Steph and Kat showed up about ten minutes later, with umbrellas out.

"It's decided to precipitate, then?"

"It is *hailing*," Kat said.

Today about an hour ago we had an actual thunderclap (just the one). Right now there's pinging off the window behind me which is most likely just rain, but could be tiny hail pellets. Chaos, who's sitting next to me, is a little perturbed by all the Weird Noises.

Stupid weather. Bad timing for my parents coming to visit this weekend, too.

Well, dang, that sounds like tornado weather. Do you ever get those? Hope things settle down for your parents' visit.

It does sound about like tornado weather, but I think it's not flat enough anywhere around here for tornadoes to really form. (Other than tornado potatoes, which are delicious but not really the same thing.)
