Dude! It stormed practically all nite!!! The wind was blowing about 40 mph all stinkin' nite. I had a hard time getting to sleep. Not so for Debbie. She zonked out within 5 minutes of laying down. Kelsey's bedroom window as open and it caused our bedroom door to rattle each time there was a gust of wind. I didn't realize what was causing the door to rattle until after midnite. After I closed her window, no more door rattling. I believe the wind was trying to blow the furnace vent pipe off of the house. The attic vent "whirlybirds" were rattling like crazy as the wind caused them to spin madly. Not sure what time I finally fell asleep, but it was after 1 am for sure. About 3:30 am, it started raining really hard. Then hailing hard. Again. Kelsey's cat, Henry, started going crazy and meowing very loudly. I got up and turned on the television expecting to learn of a tornado warning or something. Nope. Just a strong thunderstorm passing thru. Man, it's gonna be a long day after a couple of hours sleep.
Sun is shining brightly. But it is cold. Upper 40's. brrr.
I can see dents in the top and hood of the Mazda 6. Those are dents from the hail that fell yesterday evening and likely from the early morning shotpeening. Dangit.
The Weather Channel showed there was a tornado warning southwest of Vinita around 5:30 am this morning. Later the radar showed the storm passing through the Miami area. Hope everyone is ok and no damage to houses.
Anyway, have a good day.

Wow. I'm glad we were there last week and not this week!
Yeah. The early morning event would have freaked out the girls, I'm sure.
