It's Like an Ohio Storm

On our way home from a Salt Lake lunch with my mom and the Cawley cousins, we got caught in an Ohio-like storm. It was crazy--huge raindrops, loud thunder, and even some hail. Here are some pictures of the storm.
This is one from out our back window. It looks like a waterfall from from here, but it was a ton of rain really fast.
These two are to show the amount of hail that we got during the storm. It was crazy. When we went from the car to the house under the carport it was so loud that I couldn't hear Brian when he was yelling at us.
Here's some with the rain falling, soon the large tree branch in the background was carried away by the rain and ended up under the blue truck on the left.
This is the rain pouring out of the downspout that doesn't ever seem to work in a storm.
Because that spout doesn't work, the grassy area is completely flooded. You can still see the pouring rain too.
Here's a closer look at the flood.
This video is really poor quality, and doesn't show the rain as well as I had hoped, but you can check it out if you want.

What a storm. I am wondering if it was one of the times Brian had called and I could hear it raining thru the phone.
I loved the video. That is really neat, but I couldn't hear anything!
Just giving you a hard time!!
