The Storm of the Century

Caleb and I had been looking out our window at the lightning and listening to the thunder and we saw a storm cloud heading toward the house moving pretty fast. Once it got closer the wind started to pick up and then it started hailing. The hail was the size of marbles and it was coming down really hard. This is the best storm I have ever seen! Because of this storm we ended up loosing power for an hour. A few hours later we heard that funnel clouds formed out of this storm and so I got on ktvb.com, our local news station, and found this picture that was taken right in our home town of Payette! We had no idea that the storm was going to be that bad, we just thought that it was a really good thunder storm. I guess we were wrong!

The Aftermath of the Storm

Just so you know I was in such shock because of this storm that I messed up on the date. It's May 3 not March 3. :)

The Aftermath of the Storm part 2


This storm put down an inch of marble sized hail in just a few minutes! I have never in my life seen a storm like this. We were afraid that the hail would dent our car but luckily it didn't. This storm however will probably affect the fruit we get off of our peach and apricot trees. The hail was coming down so hard that you couldn't hear your own voice.

The sky is falling!


We had hail that was the size of marbles!

This brick kinda shows a closer look at the hail that we received.
