"Don't Know Why, There's No Sun Up in The Sky Stormy Weather." ~ Harold Arlen


Yesterday was an unusually warm winter day in Middle
Tennessee. When we have temps in the 60's in January,
you know something is going to happen. The clouds started
building up late in the afternoon. Tornado watches and
thunderstorm watches were issued.


Then the storms came. In this picture you can see hail
falling. That's when it got scary.


We got some pea sized hail.


The rain was very heavy. The gutter on our backporch was
clogged and the water was coming down was like a waterfall.
We had a thunderstorm warning in Smith County, but no
tornado warnings, thank goodness!


The storms moved on east toward Cookeville where they
did have a tornado warning.

Tomorrow I'll be posting pictures of the double rainbow
that we had. It was gorgeous!

You got some cool shots of the hail & rain! Don said there was pea-sized hail here when he took the kids home. It was pretty scary looking outside here!

Great pics of the before, during and after! We didn't have hail at our house. Lots of lightning and some thunder and rain. All that started right when we took the kids to the D.Q. I think I'd rather have snow.
