The riders from west of Tennessee will know what I am talking about with this story.

We have had the worst spring weather I have ever witnessed in my life. Tornado watch, Tornado warning and sevear thunder storm warnings and watches almost every day for nearly a month!
The hail storm my daughter and I where caught up in last week no one here would have ridden a bike through! I thought it was going to take out all the windows and strip the paint. Hail the size of ping pong balls hitting like a home run baseball! The wind was so fierce I don't think a man could have stood up in it either.
This is why you don't hear of very many people riding in the rain , especially this time of year, in the mid west and south. The lightning on top of that can do you up like a cat in the microwave also!
