Five minutes before this we had been dining outdoors; eating Lamb chops and Taboulé, and listening to the sweet sound of distant thunder.
No sooner had we gone indoors than the familiar rattling sound of hail was suddenly everywhere. I managed to film a tiny bit before being hit on my bare foot by a big-bugger (expletive inaudible).
And this was the resulting sky just five minutes afterwards (below).
Serious stuff, but not enough rain to bring up mushrooms.
Oh, it was audible, alright, and justified. Here on the other side of the world we had a hailstorm recently, too, though not as dramatic as yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing sky, that is. Worth the pain, I reckon.
Yes, the sky was amazing; almost like a distant forest fire.
DeleteCrikey, I agree with Ninaschen it's an amazing sky x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteWe had a hailstorm once that was so bad we had several broken windows. And worse, it destroyed my garden for that year. I don't like hailstorms at all!
Good heavens where did that lot come from - and you don't swear in French either. Wonderful sky after though.
ReplyDeleteBut enough rain to produce that incredible sky.
ReplyDeleteThink yourself fortunate that you don't live in a shack with a corrugated iron roof.
ReplyDeleteIt was noisy enough with tiles!
DeleteThat'll leave a mark lol.
ReplyDeleteOUCH ….. BUGGER !!!!! Very mild I thought !!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sky Cro ….. I can see Zeus or one of the ' Gods ' in the clouds on the right hand side….. eyes, nose, mouth and beard !!! XXXX
I've watched the video since, and can now hear myself swearing.... It hurt.
DeleteInteresting to hear your voice. I was just expecting a few boring hailstones.
ReplyDeleteThere's probably a way to cut out voices, but I ain't found it yet.
DeleteOuch! But what a gorgeous picture!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing. (lamb choaps and taboule is also amazing).
ReplyDeleteI heard it too. Those hailstones were something else.
