The sky is falling

beer in hailstones
Originally uploaded by michelle and heather.

There was a hail storm tonight as we drove home in the dark. It was incredibly heavy and quite frightening. Emma and David were in the car with us. In the few minutes it took to get home, park the car, and get inside, the back verandah was covered with hail pellets.
Who would've though I could skid in ice on my back deck in Brisbane?

Within minutes, our back deck looked like this (well, David added the beer; unfortunately it didn't come from the sky).
