Montana VacationI’m on vacation this week visiting my mother in Great Falls, Montana. On Saturday we had a major hail storm while my mother was hosting a barbeque for friends and relatives. The storm started at about 4:00 in the afternoon and lasted for nearly 30 minutes, producing golf ball size hail and damaging winds with heavy rain. It was very exciting for a short period of time. I will be back from vacation next Monday, June 25th.
