Got hail! Someones hubcab in driveway. I pray everyone is ok. That was scary. Last torando was not so long ago.. whats going on! What about all across the world loud horn sounds or hums going on? Look it up - really weird stuff is going on around us. But I will pick out the news isn't broadcasting it. Why?

And that really dark cloud in the Oval Office.

Come on back, Jesus. I want to go and live with Christians.

Better watch out what you wish for because with your rotten racist attitude, you will be headed in the opposite direction.

if you look back on sheila's history in the commenting department....she is usually rude and hateful so this doesnt surprise me at all how she can turn news of a hail storm into obama bashing

Actually people believe HAARP causes those noises and stuff. It also is believed to be a weather changer and it changes cloud patterns. Like just the other night, I saw strange layered clouds in the sky. For the weather people to not have predicted this, most likely HAARP may have had something to do with it.

Ever hear of global warming?

#5.1 Sheila Tolley on 01/23/12 at 09:49 AM

We have paved the country in asphalt and wonder why we have global warming? Walk on asphalt on a hot day barefooted..is it hot? Now walk on the grass.....pretty cool, huh?

Heh... You need to get out more in the world.

50% of the earth's population have never made a phone call.

If you make at least $15,000 per year, you are in the top 1% income level on planet earth.

Take a trip to central Africa,India, or Bangladesh, and find out how most of the world's people actually live. Hot pavement is the least of their worries.

I don't know Sheila but I enjoy her posts and her quick wit. You may disagree with her but you have to admit (or not) that she is an amazing writer.

Now, hail. It was SO LOUD and I was very frightened. And the stones were so big. My car and my sister's car have dimples all over them. I was afraid it was another tornado; thank the Lord it was not. My heart still hurts for the people who were lost and the poor little girl who simply said "Mama flew away". The reality of those words chill me.

I am new to Barnesville and so far I have been in the worst storms of my life. Are we in a river valley or some kind of storm magnet area? Or maybe I brought it with me :) uh oh.

Yall have a good day.
