That was certainly a bumpy night. I got some hail up to half-dollar and golf ball size but it was not continuous, just occasionally a few of that size. No apparent damage to the vehicles parked outside and the roof seems OK this morning.

Boy we sure dodged a bullet here in Stillwater. The same cell that dropped a tornado in Northwest OKC and Edmond went right through here with some massive dime to nickel size hail that covered the ground. It looked like snow. We got lucky as the cell passed through because it was not tornadadic at that point. Wow what a night!
