Bad Storms Sweep Tennessee: High Winds & Hail in Bellevue

This has been a bad afternoon of storms in the Nashville area. A terrible storm cell passed over my Bellevue home. I could hear the high winds, the rain pelting the house and then an awful banging all around my house like someone was throwing rocks at my house. I have never heard anything like it before, although once I heard a storm pull siding off my house which was equally scary.

I stayed in my safe room with Miss Katy listening to all the noise until the storm passed, and then I watched the news, so it was about 15 minutes after the hail fell before I thought to go outside and look. There were quarter-sized round junks of ice all around my house and yard. It was almost 70ยบ outside so I don't know if the hail lost any diameter due to melting during those 15 minutes, but it was still an impressive sight.

We were lucky in Bellevue. Tornadoes touched down in other places including neighboring Dickson. I am thankful to the protective Hand of Providence that we just got the hail and high winds.
