Weather can be a funny thing. I remember the tornadoes in West Texas growing up including the big one that hit P-view in the early '70s. We had thunder, lightning (sore subject for me), hail, wind, rain, tornadoes, sleet, snow (yes, snow), dust-storms and more.
The use to say that the weather changes all of the time in Oklahoma...NOT. The good Lord decides to change the weather here a minute-by-minute.
For example, Sunday, it was gorgeous - blue skies, a little cloudy and warm. I slept in (I needed it), got up and headed to the commissary...out of NOWHERE...hail. Yes, hail. A nice big gray and drizzling cloud (which I called a few choice Sailor names) came out of the place I will call NOWHERE. I thought I left HAIL when I left HALE COUNTY in 1982 for the Navy...but NO...I didn't. My Jeep took a beating for about 10 minutes...and of course, then sun came back out.
Why hail in the PACNORWEST?
Well, because it can...and it will...whenever it wants to!
Off scooting...
