About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

Awww... poor plants! I didn't get any hail up here. Whew!
Ouch!
We just had a similar squal line go through downtown Atlanta, hail and all. We get a little nervous in this part of town with that kind of weather, after all, we did have a tornado tear up downtown last year.
When you're on the 33rd floor of an office tower and hail from the storm is hitting your side of the building at 80mph, it sounds like buckshot peppering the building. Thunder sounds different too and it is a little weird to be looking out a window and see lightening strike below the level you are on.
About half the windows in our suite leaked at the seams. The maintenence manager said he had leaks on almost every floor.
As for your poor flowers, I don't know if the yellow marigolds(?) will come back, but the mixed group looks like it should in a day or two, it seems to have more bendy stems that should bounce back.

Wendy, they were large marigolds, and I'm not particularly optimistic.
The geraniums are the plant equivalent of cockroaches, though. I think they'll bounce back.
Alas poor flowers ... those marigolds look like they've turned into soup. :(
If the temperatures haven't gone below freezing, you may be ok.
Though I would have poured tepid water in the bins to melt the ice.
