Hi all, we had a really bad monsoon storm a couple of days ago. 70 mph winds, big hail, lots of rain, lightning, everything. I was out of the house when it rolled in. It moved in really fast and I wasn't able to get home to get the plants inside before we got hit. The hail actually punched holes in some of the Sarrs, tore some lids off, and snapped a few of them. The VTFs fared better as they sit lower in the pots. Everything survived, but they look pretty ragged now.
Lots of trees down, flooding, power outages, the usual storm problems.
