Mother Nature, You Cruel Bitch

Mother nature, that heartless whore, just raped all of Steph's pretty pretty flowers.

About two minutes before mother nature unleashed her fury on Castle Carlton, Zach buzzed me to tell me about the brutal hail storm pounding his apartment. His description of power outages, lightning scorched skies, and marble-sized hail were prophetic to what Steph and I were about to endure.

Then, at about 10:35 pm, mother nature bitch-slapped the Carlton town home. The power flickered in and out, threatening to fail. Icy projectiles pounding the skylights drowned out the sounds of the TV, screaming cats, and frantic Dolphin.

It lasted but a minute or two, but that's all the time mother nature needed to lay waste to what was once a decent looking patio.

I took pictures. If you listen closely as you gaze at these photos of devastation, you can almost hear the marigolds and daisies weeping as they die.

  1. Yours only lasted 5 minutes, it was hailing here for at least 20, it accumulated 2" of hail on the ground.
