It was my birthday. We were having huevos rancheros with pancakes and coffee at Dave’s Valley Grill. Suddenly it started pouring down rain (a rare occurrence in itself), but then it started hailing like crazy. The hail was relentless, the streets flooded, and it took us an hour to drive the two miles home. The next morning, June 1, there was still a pile of hail on my back deck.
