Spring storm

First came the lightning, then the thunder, and then the wind picked up. That was just before the hail started...


Right after taking this photo, I dodged out to pull back the roses so they wouldn't be ruined. Then the rain mixed in...



and soon became too much for my gutters...



The wind died down immediately after, so it was safe to turn my computer back on. I do have a surge protector, but always turn off the computer during big thunder storms.
