Hail on the ground at Lydell and Wendy Wohlk’s following August 15th storm.
Wendy Wohlk came home to hail and an inch 20 for rain from the storm last Monday (8/15/16). She said her garden looks sick but didn’t know about any crop damage.

Our rain gauge showed around .70 at the Bradley home with no hail.
