Hail dump

Can’t believe some of the pictures on the TVNZ website of the hail storm that hit the Bay of Plenty today! Mother said on the phone last night that a pretty big storm and hail had been forecast but hadn’t yet arrived – it did today. The pictures look like snow! And this is a coastal area where it’s never white on the ground let alone right on the beach! Check out this photo – the normally sandy coloured sand is WHITE! Poor Nanna – she lives right along there somewhere!
