Nope. But the floor is dark green ceramic tile. I wouldn't have seen them even if it had been white, though - one of the side benefits of not being able to see well. But it's far from the worst thing I've managed to find barefooted over the years. Puppies come to mind...

You're not kidding!!! All over town is a MESS...but all in all we were lucky. In Lawton and near the Lawton/Duncan Y they had baseball sized hail.

Ours only got to quarter size, but it was big enough to ruin one of my bird feeders, shatter the driver's side mirror on J's BMW and destroy my "Hen and Chicks" plants. They look like someone took a weed-eater to them.

Upside?? The bird feeder that the hail busted had a Wasp's nest in it!! I never would have seen it...

Anadarko had an EF-2 tornado, but lucky for us the storm lessened by the time it got to us.

For Seabee and bjb: All but 5 cars at the La Quinta in Lawton had the glass shattered by orange sized hail!

Yheahh! Okie storms! On the prowl! I love extreme weather! Get DOWN! Mutha NaturH!

Okay. Calm down, redbird. Just be glad it wasn't my jalopy parked at La Quinta. Which happens to be our favorite place to stay. Can't beat that free continental breaky!

I got most of the front yard mowed. The grass was two feet tall in some parts.

Glad I did because I knew this rain would make it even taller. Funny how fast the weeds grow compared to the grass!

You all can have some of ours. I haven't been able to put in a full week of work because of the rain, you can't lay asphalt in the rain.

Maybe I need to put in a good word to the Creater and ask to only have it rain during the week and in only the late evening, especially during the pro-sports hours. Never on Saturday or Sunday , so we can enjoy our weekends.

In my yard, it all grows way too fast. The biggest difference between the grass and weeds is that the weeds tend to have thorns of one kind or another. Thinking really hard about a goat... maybe I could find a nanny that's fresh.
