This was our 4th of July car show with over 150 cars and some really nice ones. The fire department came though the site and said there was a thunderstorm just west of town and would be in town with the next few minutes. I live about 25 miles to the west so no way to out run it so we just pulled our cars to some high ground under a tree and put a car cover on my 58 Vette and closed up my 35 Ford and plan to wait it out. Then the cops come though and said hail upto golf ball size and winds in excess of 50 miles per hour. So we move to picnic shelter then the cops came back though and said winds have been clock as high as 70 miles per our and we were forced to go to a shelter and wait out the storm. We ended up with a lot rain and the high winds and hail went just north of our location but made for a interesting afternoon. The circle in the center are my two cars we brought to the show. Sorry about the quality but these are taken with my cell phone. No real harm other than clean up...it will give me a chance to use my new rotary that will be here Friday.
