I woke up this morning to a storm, rumbling across the sky as I had lunch. It was near noon out, but it seemed like five AM it was so dark. I went down and started up the computer, but within a minute or two the power flickered and died. I picked up the camera and started shooting some pictures just as the rain turned into big, centimeter-wide hail.
Within a few minutes, the hail had sloshed over the gutter and piled on the porch.
In other news, my camera is officially totally dead. It takes pictures, but I can only press three buttons: On/Off, Take Picture, and switch between the last taken picture, and taking new pictures.
