Jan 27th, 2020 : What the Hail?
Everyone in the world is aware of Australia’s plight. Devastating drought followed by catastrophic fires burning over ten million
acres, an area bigger than Pennsylvania. It’s killed 32 people including three Americans who crashed a C-130 firefighting plane. It’s consumed 2500 homes and more than a billion animals. Finally they got some rain which has helped, but it came in deluges which wash away the hillside soil that fires have denuded. Then to add insult to injury hail, big hail, billiard ball sized hail. http://cellar.org/img/fiona-simpson.jpg Fiona Simpson was diving with her grandmother in the front seat and her four month old baby girl in a car seat in the back, when the rain became so heavy she pulled over and stopped. Then hail started pelting her car and smashed the window where her baby was so she dove over the seat the shield the baby with her body and got pummeled. Quote:
