On Sunday, August 21, 2011, I made a trip to Lebanon, Pa. to visit the Expo Center there because they were having a Gem Show that I was very interested in seeing. What a great time! More on that in another post though. The trip home was uneventful... until I got to my exit off of I-81. It started to pour down rain so hard that I couldn't see more than five feet ahead of my car. I decided to pull off the side of the road on the exit for a bit until it let up. Two people had already cut me off getting onto the exit ramp and had almost hit me. Time for a time out! After sitting there for a few minutes, it started to hail. For some reason, I started laughing as I watched the small pieces of ice bouncing off the hood of my car. It sounded very much like someone was pelting the car with hundreds of marbles. I took out my cellphone and took a quick two minute video. P.S. My car was fine. Not a single ding in her that I could see. :)
The chaos only lasted about 10-15 minutes, and then I drove the short distance home. Once there, I ran into my backyard and photographed some of the hail pieces. They were about an inch or so in diameter. I snapped some pictures of my husband, David, holding them with a tape measure for comparison.
I then uploaded the photo to abc27's facebook fan page and much to my surprise... they put it on the 6 and 11 o'clock news! I got a picture of that too. (lol) My two minutes of fame, folks. What can I say.. it made me happy to contribute something that someone found to be useful. :)
And a special thanks to my hubby, David, for being my hand model, and for his quick thinking (trademark of a Gemini man!) of adding the tape measure in the picture! <3
This is my third blog actually. On this blog I'd like to blog about ANYTHING. The other two were specifically about Tarot and other metaphysically related stuff. I'm sure there will plenty of that here too, but I want one where anything goes. (lol) Poetry, ranting, silliness, pictures etc. A place where random reigns supreme! A place to be free to be me, no matter what that may be or where it might take me. :)
