Golf Ball Hail and Lightning Piercing a Rainbow
Today was 96 degrees. We were driving home when we saw this very small storm on the horizon in the afternoon. We weren’t sure it would get to us but it sure did! It got very windy (we saw some shingles flying across the sky) then it started dropping hail. We had a few pieces of quarter sized hail then ONE golf ball sized piece of hail dropped all by itself. I ran out and grabbed it because it’s the biggest we’ve seen yet and who knows if we’ll see anything like that again.
After the hail, Sudi saw a rainbow pop up, so I went out side to video it. I was lucky enough to also capture a cloud to ground lightning strike that crossed the rainbow! WOOHOO! What a day… I love weather, man.

Holy moley! A winner of a picture. You should send in to the Benbrook newspaper at least. So you found a Chevy Malibu at the pot of gold by the rainbow?

You should submit this pic to You Tube. It is fantastic.

Thanks.
The rainbow actually ended in the bed of our neighbor’s truck. There has got to be gold in there!
