    And you didn't run out and grab a bunch of pieces as it was coming down?

    Well ... at least you got your "horse" inside before it started!

    No they weren't that big just lots of small ones.
    My camera did a very poor job of showing them falling or on the ground.

    My 3 year old grandson would never forgive me if his horse was damaged.

    ===============

    While sitting on my porch and watching this rain storm I was just thinking
    I don't believe I have a tarp that would have kept me dry with the rain blowing
    sides ways and changing direction.
    It sure makes one think...

    Storms like that (with the blowing rain) are the reason I got my Superfly.

    I think so. The hail was small.
    What really made me video the storm was when sitting there looking at all the blowing rain
    I was thinking, man!, I would not have been able to stay dry if I was out in that.
