Record Breaking Rain & Hail

July 20, 2010 -The Appleton area has officially broke the record for the wettest July and the month is not over yet. We have already had over 10 inches of rain. Add that to the previous 7 inches in June and we are at 17 inches in less than two months. The heavy downpours have our yard saturated with water to the point that the ground has been too soft to play on. I sure hope it lets up soon! Today's storm produced dime to nickel size hail. We were lucky and didn't get the damage that a lot of the homes did. It did rip holes in our grill cover but that is a lot better than a damaged roof or siding.
I had to go out and grab a piece of hail to take a picture of
