The area east of Pep was heavily pelted by hail over a week ago. Some farmers say their crops have been hit by hail three times this year and they will be lucky just to make expenses. The heavily damaged areas are around Richland, Garrison, South Causey and Lingo. More than four or five miles east of Highway 206, there were windows knocked out and roofs damaged, residents there said. East of Dora and back toward Longs, Garrison, Causey on to Lingo there was also a washout from the torrential rain.
