As I was writing my post on all the wonderful glass exhibitions underway, HAILAGEDDON happened here in Dallas! Golf ball to Baseball size hail pummeled parts of Dallas, including the Dallas Arboretum. But not to worry! Yes, four elements of one Chihuly piece were shattered, but the Chihuly spokesperson assured the reporter that spares are always blown "just in case" of natural calamity. Chihuly has exhibited these large pieces throughout the country, including Florida (hurricanes!) and they have learned disaster planning the hard way apparently!
