Who would have ever thought that it would hail in Saudi Arabia? I was sleeping cozy in my bed one morning back in November and after hearing Gavin, Jonny, and Nicole leave for seminary at 5:20, I heard this loud crashing sound coming from upstairs. I ran upstairs to see what it was, thinking it was a broken pipe or who knows what. I heard the sound coming from outside like someone was throwing rocks at the window. I opened the door to our roof terrace and found very large pieces of ice all over the ground. Of course I ran to get my camera and ran downstairs to take pictures outside. The ground was covered with hail the size of very large marbles.
I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't notice that our car was still parked under the carport and then saw Gavin and the kids staring at me. They had just gotten in the car to leave when it started and decided to wait out the hail. Good thing because it probably would have dented our car. They waited about ten minutes but then decided it was too late to go and came in.
Crazy way to start the day!
Proof that it does hail in Saudi Arabia.
