In the early morning light of July 13, 2025, the day after our 3rd severe hailstorm this year

In the morning light... If you look closely you can see the ripped shade cloths, piles of hail that still remain nearly 12+ hours later and my decimated pumpkins bed in the front of the picture. Yesterday I had beautiful vines that were 4 feet long+. Shade cloth had been removed from the pumpkins bed due to sunflowers that had outgrown it. Plus, we'd already been hit twice this year with bad hail, certainly we wouldn't get a direct hit again this year, right?  WRONG. Lots of the chunks of hail we received this time were 1 to 2 inches in diameter. It came down so hard and so fast. The picture showing the walk way between the cattle panel arches and our high tunnel was taken some 15 hours later around 9ish in the morning of July 13. Despite overnight temps being well over 50 degrees and the morning sun shining down for hours, piles of hail remained. A couple before and after pics of my daisies and rudbeckia for perspective of the power of this hailstorm.
