This afternoon I heard the tornado siren go off. Shortly afterwards, I started to hear hail pounding our house. Matt and I watched for 15 or more minutes as golf ball sized hail came down. Below are pictures of Matt holding some of the hail and some of the damage to our house. We are now watching the news, learning that a tornado actually touched down about a mile from our house at the Southlands shopping center, where we frequently go. We are thankful that we are safe and unharmed and that our house suffered relatively minor damage.
