Hail Storm

Last week, we had a serious hail storm hit in our area. I had never seen anything like it before! Earlier in the school year we had a lesson about the ten plagues of Egypt, so it was very interesting for all of us to see and imagine how it would be for the Egyptians along with the hail mixed with fire.


My husband was at church at the time of the storm and our van has some dents and dings, but thankfully none of our windows broke.


Here are some pics. My sons and I gathered some of the hail to put here on the blog. I was amazed at the different shapes of hail and I have included a pic of my favorite one.

  1. Wow....I heard it was getting more violent than I'd ever heard it before, but I didn't think they were that big!!!! Thanks for teh pics!!! Now I'm all curious as to how they got in the form they are. Those pictures look like a cross section. Is that the middle I'm looking at? That's so amazing!!

  2. These are some great pictures! I shared them with my daughters and they loved it. We get hail here but I have never taken the time to notice the beautiful shapes. Thank you for slowing me down and reminding me that I should do the small things like this.
