We had our first rain since November, and boy it was a gully gusher complete with hailstones. We were rushing back to the farm to close our windows, but had to pull over under a tree to try to protect our windshield from the hailstones. The last time we had such a storm was when our batteries and water pump system got struck by lightning and Timothy received a jolt through the wet grass that threw him down for a few seconds. We are thankful to report that this storm passed without harming anyone or anything at the farm and all we got was a bit of rain in the windows and under the doors, nothing major. There were crews hand watering the orchards and even some bigger trees were struggling with the dry season, so this rain was very welcome.
This is a hailstone from the storm months ago, and the size is very comparable.
