| The pictures below were taken by Sven Nelaimischkies north of Ruleton and Kanorado on June 11, 1999. Precipitation in the area during the previous night was over 3 inches. These pictures were taken after melting had occurred over a twelve hour period. Damage reports included many broken windows and widespread crop damage. |
Pictured above are the drifts of hail left following the storm. |
No, that isn't a glacier - just more hail! |
Note the fence post sticking out from this drift of hail! |
This farmer's field looks like a winter scene! |
