We had a "WIzard of Oz" day on Wednesday. I took the kids to see "Bolt". There is something that makes me giggle when I watch my kids at the movie theater. Their eyes are big, mouths open, and attention spans captured. I wish I could have that effect. Anyway...we were just on our way out to our car when the manager of the theater ran over and told us to be careful because it was hailing and a tornado had touched down. I was just about to go out casually in that mess. As I looked closer out into the parking lot, I saw huge chunks of hail falling violently down. Shooting down rather. Here's a pic of what was coming down. It's baseball sized hail. Who cares about golfball sized hail! It was CRAZY! I even saw peices bigger than this on my way home. That night it was touch and go with our electricity. That night on the news, there was converage of the tornados. A reported ten tornadoes touched down in our area. One of which destroyed a church a few miles away. We were untouched. There's no place like home, for sure!

Man.. glad you guys were left untouched! That weather reminds me of Texas... CRAZY! ha!
Holy Cow! That makes Texas sound good and I don't even remember ever seeing hail so big or having even one tornado close by. I'm so glad you guys are all right and "untouched." Does your car have hail damage now?
I love all your Georgia comments. Those slug things are NASTY, that possum is disgusting, and that hail is SCARY! Do I miss it? No. :) Okay, I miss the spring and fall. And I miss you all!
Holy Moly. I can't believe how big and sci fi looking that hail is. Did that damage your car?
10 tornadoes puts wizard of oz to shame!
No, it didn't damage my car miraculously!
That is some cool looking hail. I can't believe that crazy weather you guys got!
