I live on a dusty lump of rock in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. It is almost a desert island.
Today we had a huge storm that raced over - much rain and strong winds, and hail as it turned out.
Lots of hail. Lots and lots of hail. In fact it looked like it had been snowing there was that much of it. It was piled 2-3 inches deep on the street outside our house. The smacking sounds as the hail hit the windows seemed to be a bit too loud so we went to see what was up. We couldn't believe the size of the stones that were coming down!
And these are just what we could reach from our kitchen door! There were alot bigger ones out there!
