5 miles from home i saw lightning. then big glop rain, at first you could count them, then see them a ways off, more there than here, then a wall of water that my blades could barely push off the windshield, then hail- dimes, nickles, quarters? maybe. pull into an orchard for cover? nope, nothing slicker than fresh rain on a hard packed recently picked dusty layer filbert orchard. getting stuck would be bad. busted windshield would be bad. stuck with busted windshield? misery. keep driving, slowly. lightning, more, rain, then clear and almost calm. get home and find nickel/ dime hail in drifts. All in maybe ten minutes. Fall in oregon. we had a funnel cloud last week, snow next week?
