The weather gods seem to have decided that our part of Brooklyn's a good place to try new kinds of storms. Not a month after a tornado decapitated our trees, a violent hailstorm last night pummeled the roof, pounded threateningly on windows, and scattered leaves from the still-green ginkgo down the block. Above: the sky after the storm. At right: hailstones left over in the garden this morning. Below: ginkgo appliquéd on a car this morning.
