Oh Hail, Lost everything Male
Default Oh Hail, Lost everything

Last night in Colorado, a boundary was set up where the storms grew and grew and didn't move. It hailed very hard to two hours and in the end we were left with over a foot of hail on the ground. My trees stripped bare, my beloved garden destroyed. I lost my orchids outside. It was so bad I couldn't even tell which shredded part belonged to who. I was at work when it all happened and my wide rightfully focused on my daughter and dog and hid in the basement as a tornado was less than a mile away.

To be clear, thank God Almighty my family is ok, and tho I don't know what my house has to deal with in terms of damage, I'm heartbroken over my garden and the loss of my orchids. The only thing I could find is the tough as nail max.

Hug your orchids today, guys.

You may not be able to tell but in the second pic there are trees, stripped bare and hail still on the ground. 6 inches in some places and this is some 12 hours after the storm.

Deep cleansing breaths.
