Starting late Friday night into Saturday morning there were crazy awesome thunderstorms with a lot of rain and hail. The storms woke Jaki up at home but surprisingly not the kids. Kip was at work and was able to watch the whole night and said it was just beautiful, loud and strike after strike of lightning. Then on Saturday afternoon the storms rolled through again. At about 3 it started to rain and then about 3:30 the lightning and thunder were back. The boys went out and watched the storm on the deck with Kip, it hailed and covered everything with hail. Even Addi was excited about the storm and fought going down for a nap. That storm moved on at about 4 and we had a break until about 5 when another storm pushed its way through. This time Jaki and the boys were on the deck until basically sideways rain forced them to come inside. Once it calmed down some Zack decided to go back out by himself. He wanted to wear a jacket and put on one of Kip's sweatshirts (pictured above).
Will was watching the storm from inside snuggling with his mass of stuff.
Here's the rain soaked deck while it was still coming down.
Here's puddles forming on the rocks because it was raining so hard. After watching the news we found out that we got about 1 & 1/2 inches from these storms. These were beautiful and much needed storms. There was flooding Saratoga Springs but not anywhere else at least as reported. Below are a couple videos showing just how hard it was raining and hailing.
