What is it with the weather and our time in Germany? Nathan was on his way home from work when it started hailing. It didn't seem so bad, until he received an SMS. "Both skylights have smashed".
Jo had been making some dinner when the storm started getting worse. Owen of course was wailing at the noise, and fortunately Jo abandoned dinner and took Owen to a safer spot before the sky fell. Oh dear! What a mess! Of course, rain always comes with hail, and a broken skylight doesn't keep the elements out. Poor kitchen and poor bathroom. You can't see the puddle very well, but the shards of skylight are pretty obvious - fortunately it's perspex, and won't cut.
And this is the cause. That's big hail. Not as big as some of the Sydney hail we've seen, but unheard of in Leipzig!
Of course, we weren't the only ones effected. Quite a few cars had smashed windows. Here's one of our neighbours cleaning up the mess.
And people had a hard time getting home. The hail was as thick as snow and for some reason the water didn't drain away very well. The water was a bit deeper than these cyclists expected. "Arrggh, es ist kalt!"
The next morning, it appeared as if autumn had come again - except this time the leaves were still green!
