And there was hardly a single little green corn plant left. Arco was by far the hardest hit. Trees were defoliated, the streets nearly needed to be plowed, with hail many inches deep. Houses were cov-ered with green leaves plastered against them. The grass in the ditches looked like it had been mowed flat to the dirt.
Hail is some weird stuff.
It's frozen water that appears sometimes on hot summer days. Some is perfectly rounded - some more jagged. The hail we saw was pea sized - some maybe marble size. We can't imagine golf-ball size or even softball size. And it's so destructive that we hope we don't see very much of it - in any size.
