We were in the middle of a big grassy field when the big raindrops started. All we could do was a quick dash to a small 3 ft concrete awning along the side of one of NIU's campus buildings. It was truly simply a small concrete overhang with little protection at all.
After the hail stopped we found out later the wind gusts at nearby Dekalb airport reached 74mph. Take a look at the gigantic tree branch that was ripped off the tree only 20 ft away from us.
What a blast! The rain stopped leaving us all dripping, (the camera's survived, quickly placed in their bags) and I looked at Patrick and Diana and we all just laughed.
We finished another hour of the engagement shoot under a beautiful blue sky. Extreme!
