about that storm..

So, we spent all day Saturday at the ball fields watching a double header which ended around 5 PM. There were some clouds rolling in, but they were not the normal ominous storm clouds you usually see in KS when you are about to encounter a substantial thunderstorm. Apparently not many others thought they were menacing either. As we were leaving it started to sprinkle, and then all of a sudden it switched to straight torrents of hail. I had to pull off the road because the road was completely covered in ice. You would think these were winter photos, but it was still over 50 degrees when this stuff started coming down. We saw 3 motorcycles, and we stopped to ask this guy if he wanted to sit in the car until it stopped. I think he was actually enjoying himself though out there in the chaos. Our friend Jordan had also taken his motorcycle to the theater in Hutch to see The Watchmen, when the tornado sirens went off he said they stopped the movie, and he went and got his bike and pushed it into the lobby of the theater before heading to the storm shelter. It was a strange storm, it never got very dark, and there was very little thunder or lighting where we were at when it hit.
