Tornado, hail and crying, oh my!

Here is what we had in our yard about 20-25 minutes after the tornado that came through our area tonight. It hit in another town, but we stayed in the closet under the stairs for a while, just in case. This is the size of the big ones in our yard. They are a little smaller than a baseball but not as small as a golf ball.

The little ones are ping pong ball size if that helps any....wouldn't have wanted to be outside during this hailstorm! Aren't we thankful for garages and strong brick homes!

Grace cried for about the first 15 minutes. "I don't want to die, Mommy, I don't want to die." I said, "Grace, where do we go when we die?" "Heaven, but I don't want to leave you, Mom!"....Then she prayed for who knows how long..."Dear God, please make the tornadoes go away and don't let us die. In Jesus name, Amen." She calmed down after she talked to her daddy on the phone and then we played with some toys and read some books.

This was taken when I finally found a baseball-about 45 minutes after the storm. The yard was pretty clean by then and most everything had melted, but they are still pretty big, I think.
