This Sunday thunderstorm in Wasilla,about 40 miles north of Anchorage,covered the ground with hail.Thunderstorms of this intensity aren't everyday occurrences in south-central Alaska--and hail isn't common either. But that's just what happened yesterday and these pictures, taken by Mark Chryson from his front yard, allow us to see just what happened. Mark's pictures were relayed to us by Carolyn Szepanski---and we want to thank both Mark and Carolyn for sharing them with us. They are GREAT shots! By the way, it's worth noting that there were patches of fog which formed over some of the hail-covered surface.
