Glad your ok, but the picture insinuates there was only about an inch of that giant marble underground...who did the calculations there?

yup..not sure exactly what it is..something like a tornado but not nearly as strong..bout 3am(est) this morning it was bad. the lightning looked like a strobe light and it tried to hail for a couple minutes bout the size of a marble..the airport which is near my house got winds of 66 mph and the thunder was loud and the rain came down like i dunno what..i thought it was a tornado:eek: it uprooted huge trees and took gravels from a gravel road near me and put them in the lake and in peoples yards leaving huge holes in the road..mud, dirt, rocks, water, branches, trees, everything in the roads..heres one pic from the news website..i'm sure they'll have more tomorrow(i'm guessing anyways) if they do i'll post them but heres the one..

The hail was the size of a marble. It didn't say anything about the sign.

I'm glad you're ok BSB!
