Thunderstorm Does Number on Backyard!

It was nice while it lasted, but the gorgeous London weather came to an abrupt end with a wild storm Monday that brought with it hail, heavy rain and at least one funnel cloud.

Monday started beautifully, but not long after 2 p.m. the thunder roared and the skies opened up with torrents of rain.

In a few pockets, such as Byron and White Oaks, golf ball-sized hail stones pelted down. But in our backyard, few small hail stones fell. What did most of the damage was the hard rain and strong winds.

The clouds seemed to be clearing around 3:30 p.m., but by 5 p.m. The skies blackened again as a second wave of the storm rolled in.

Here are some pictures of the damages...
