Radar-indicated rainfall amount.

As measured by my rain gauge. Brought us over 15 inches for the year so far.

Initial storm just to the south.

Hail from the later storm; averaged pea-sized.

There are 6 poppy plants under that hail somewhere!

Here are the poppies on May 2, 2009, they made quite a recovery!
They continued to grow and flower all throughout the summer. The
right-most plant, next to the brick wall, ended up surviving the
winter, and has been growing like crazy during the Spring of '10.
