Rick and I looked out and saw this big, bad thunderstorm directly west of our house in Anchor Bay.

We could hear thunder rumbling through the air. This thunderstorm came straight at us and deluged us with rain - over a half inch in five minutes! And then it hailed, big time. The first photo shows our pond. It really looks like it snowed.

We received over seven inches of much-needed rain from this big storm. More storms are on the horizon and one is hitting this afternoon. Bye, bye Mr. Drought! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
