(85,373 posts)That plus Mercury and Mars retrograding have GOT to explain it. Nobody but Job should have so much bad luck in one day....and he got a recovery package! I get to spend my birthday present getting cars fixed.
We had continuous rolling thunder and lightning flashes, and hail the size of small bubble gum balls, which melted quickly, since it's still unseasonably warm.
There were two tornadoes sighted to the west and north, and west and south of us. It rained an awful lot (so much for the back yard drying out a bit...)
the primroses I planted last fall are ready to burst into bloom, the snowdrops have given it up for the year after a 2.5 month run, the daffs will be blooming by Sunday, and small oriental iris and crocus are in full bloom. Wish I had planted some.
As for the storm, as of right now, it's subsiding, and although the sky has a yellow hue, it's more likely due to sunset....
