Hail Storm in November - Freaky weather

This afternoon, just after 4.30pm a hailstorm struck.  The hail fell for 90 minutes, destroying the vegetable garden, blocking gutters, and creating mayhem on the roads in the area.

Looking down into the driveway
The orange marrows with their plant houses
There is still more hail to come

 With all the hail, the gutters overflowed, and the water wicked back into the house, causing leaks.

Initially Quinn and Tighe started to clean up the hail that bounced into the courtyard, but it was a losing battle against the hail.
