49. I remember that hailstorm from a few years ago.

The roof on this apartment must be quite sturdy, because it didn't have any damage. However, my patio plants were pummeled, as were the tops of the trees in our courtyard. It looked like they lost about the top three feet of leaves.

Yesterday's storm didn't last as long, nor had nearly as much hail. I saw the piles at a friend's townhouse not far from here (Meyerland area.) I only saw that because my street was still flooded. We didn't seem to have it pile up as much.
