I need to keep a change of clothes and a hard hat in my car

I think mother nature may be done throwing her tantrum and we can get back to some decent weather for awhile.

We have had an interesting last few days.

Monday night we had the big hail storm here in Perry. Tuesday Jess had a track meet at PCM. The weather was bad throughout the day and most events around that part of the state were canceled. The brainiac AD at PCM decided to have the track meet anyway.

23 teams both boys and girls which is about an hour and 20 minutes from Perry. We get there and it is pretty windy and the clouds are kind of swirling around in the sky. Some sunshine and some dark clouds.

Jess said they were in a tornado watch but the meet goes on. We start at the long jump pit and it is raining. She ends up jumping 16 feet one inch in the rain and wind which was pretty good but she only got 2 jumps in before the hail started to fall.

The hail starts coming down and the announcement over the loud speaker tells people to go to the gym. Everyone starts running as the hail gets worse and worse. By the time we get to the gym door, people are stacked and the door is clogged with people. The hail is really coming down now and it is hurting like a mother when it hits you. It was quarter sized and I had my hands over my head to protect my brain.

The hail pelted my hands and it hurt but you can't really move your hands or you risk taking one to the brain.

People are pushing ans kids are screaming as they get hit by the hail. Eventually we all get into the gym, soaking wet and a little battered.

After about 20 minutes they cancel the meet. We drive back home through the driving rain and occasional hail attacks.

The next day we found out they were in a tornado warning and had straight line winds that blew roofs off of several houses and barns. Good call PCM.

Class went well last night but we took a test and the students as a whole didn't do that well. We have some review to do next week.

Drew is enjoying golf and recovering from his injury.

Jess plays in an all-star basketball game Saturday but I will write more about that tomorrow.

Off to start.
