I just had a major hailstorm pass over me.
00:03
I'm roughly Cubs Stadium basketball area for Dobson, Rio Salado, and it's headed towards the east.
00:11
So if you're east of me,
00:13
get inside.

Can you give me those crossroads again? This is N7 UKD.
00:27
Sorry. Dobson and Rio Tijuana.
00:30
I'm just south of Rio Salado and just to the west of Dobson.
00:35
And it's, I can still hear some rain and some light hail outside, but a little while ago it sounded like somebody was having a flood camera on my roof.
00:47
Wow,
00:49
we just saw a whole bunch of lightning, but it looked like it was kind of far south Phoenix, southwest Phoenix,
00:56
from our vantage point.
00:58
I didn't see any lightning.
00:59
I was hearing a lot of thunder earlier, but I should say earlier like 10 minutes ago.
01:04
But I didn't notice any lightning.
01:06
But that rain and the hail is that it's going to be when this rain dies out and the balls that go outside, take a peek at my solar panels.
01:18
So that's not good if you're worried about your panels.

Yeah,
01:21
do it. And thank you for the heads-up.
01:23
I appreciate that.
01:24
I'm going to go start looking around here and see if there's anything I need to secure.

Thank you. This is N7 UKD.
01:32
Take care, stay safe.
