The storm at Figeac caused lots of damage

Trois heures durant, le ciel leur est tombé sur la tête. 

For three hours the storm on Thursday raged at Figeac, now there is all the mess/ degats to tidy up.
We were hit quite hard at Mas del Sol, with the grele/ hailstones battering the front of the house taking paint of the front door and one window. The front hall had water ingress and I ended up putting doggy towels there.  The trees lost a lot of  new flowers and buds and branches were down. Amazing that Malc who had gone to play bridge at Caylus missed it all, so certainly some areas were lucky.
I had forgotten that you got a week of hot temperatures and then often get a severe storm.
 Well the seasons are interesting I keep saying and as long as our damage sticks to a bit of painting and mopping up, we can cope.
