Hail Storm..
Tue, 2006-09-05 13:46 | by Erin
During my week off for Obon, one of those days Eric and I went to the pool for a little swim. We had a good time and swam a little longer then usual. When we got out of the pool and were leaving I looked out side and saw it was raining. It was a noisy type of rain..... but then I checked again... it was hail!
The pool is pretty high elevation wise so after running to the car getting pelted by hail the whole way and pulling it around so Eric could just hop in, I decided to head for lower ground hoping the car would not take such a a beating. But the further we got down the side of MT Fuji the harder the hail fell. The sound was deafening in the car and I was looking for a a place with cover to pull the car but with there was nothing close and when we did get to a place where there was some cover 1000 other people had the same idea.
Finally the hail stopped and Eric and I went to get some food. When we did Eric picked up this piece of hail and well as you can see it was pretty frigning big!
