Dear Noah....extreme weather recently.....

Parking lot filling up with hailstones in Centerville, Ohio...


Damage done to car in Bellbrook, Ohio...they said the hail had to be falling about 100 MPH straight down for this type of CLEAN HOLE damage to have happened...it was like a bullet being shot!

Bellbrook, Ohio hailstones part 3...


I did not take all these photos no....I gathered some from family and the rest from Channel 7 iwitness news buddies online.....

What can I say? We could have had it so much worse..but the rain, wind and hail along with almost continuous tornado warnings recently have been a little stressful! The hail storms we had the other night brought us some of the most damaging winds and hail ever seen in this part of the country ever! Hail that was 2.5 inches here...but 3 to 4 almost 5 inches in other parts of the state. It was just surreal. Here are a few photos of the recent hail....which damaged my sisters' cars....and shredded their screens...broke skylights....just incredible the damage it caused...and the winds...I am very fortunate and thankful it was no worse up here than it was...or anywhere..and we are all okay...and feel blessed we still are intact...in one piece...with our house and roof over our heads!

Noah you handled it all well....even when the worst of the hail came through and we heard sounds we have never heard before in our lives and hope to not hear again....and it was scary....you sat in the hallway with your shoes and would run out to check the news forecast.....we stayed up till about 2:00 a.m. or so that second night of bad weather.....we have had multiple tornado warnings...which now you rather enjoy....and I am just thankful we are all okay.

Love you!

Mommy
