It hailed hard here for 45 minutes and we got an inch and a half of hail on the ground, all under one inch diameter. This morning it was fused together in a sheet of ice everywhere. We've never gotten hail stones large enough to cause auto damage, but it can sure chew up the emerging vegetation.

After the storm last night, a large boar bear came through the yard at 10:33 pm, and again at 3:15 am this morning. Caught on two trail cams. The electric fence was energized and the bear didn't get closer than 25 ft. from the house, but a raccoon did get through. The raccoon looks as big as a cub bear.
