The wind and rain seemed to pass so I went outside to clean up some of the tree branches. I washed off the sidewalk since our mulch poured over the flower beds. The sky turned dark again so I finished up and came inside, figured I was done for the day. I was right, Mary said the wind had picked up and it started to hail. Pea sized hail bombarded the area and I have a picture that I will upload. The hot tub cover was thinking about leaving town but I went out and clipped the four corners in order to secure the top. I can't remember the last time I had to fasten the cover down.

I hope 679er is safe at the airport. I'll venture out early in the morning to check.
