DFW area hammered by storms - call friends/loved ones

Radar shows it's just west of Austin now.

 

Well, that's just craptastic. It will probably be around, what 2 am, 3am?

 

Yup, plenty of time for you to snuggle into you High School Musical jammies and get in the fetal position under your covers.

 

We're in Hurst, right by Haltom City (about 3 miles away from where the Tornado hit the Minyards). We had Hail a bit larger than golf balls, but it didn't do much damage and the entire storm lasted maybe 20 minutes. It's supposed to be gone by the morning...hope so, we've got a garage sale starting at 7am tomorrow.

I couldn't find an actual video of it. but ummm. close enough.

 

I got mostly marble-sized hail with some golf ball size hail here in North Richland Hills. I just got home from work when it started. That was scary there for a bit...especially with the tornado warning not to far south of me. I could hear the sirens from down there. No damage here, though. I haven't been in too many hail storms...only pea-size. That was the worst one I've been through.

 

We had the sirens here in Plano (just west of 75 at Park/Parker area)... but saw no funnels... saws some spooky moving clouds though.

Mostly heavy rain, and then nothing.


eerie clouds


radar after it passed Plano, check out Rockwall! (from TV)


roof of church in Haltom City blew off (excuse the flash mark.. pic from TV..)

Trying to upload a video to youtube of the clouds at the house, but it's too busy right now.

 

Looks like the storm has simmered down...not as much red in the radar now. I'm guessing it'll start raining in Houston area within the hour.

 

It's also moving really fast, so it shouldn't last long.

 

I think I hear some rain gently tapping at my window.

 

Raindrops keep falling on my head.

 

I was in Dallas yesterday for some job interviews when that mess passed through. I walked out of Good Records on Greenville and heard the sirens, so I drove to Mockingbird Station and parked my car in the underground garage. All I saw was some marble-sized hail and some pretty heavy rain.

 

I'm glad it wasn't any worse. I live on the other side of Mockingbird Station.

 

As time passes, this seems more and more irrelevant.

 

Ahh baby, I'm touched you were so worried. But you know me...I was out like the lights.

 

I love that record store.

 

Yeah, it was my first time to see their new location. I picked up the new Low and Blonde Redhead CDs.

 

That storm wasn't ****.

Dr of Dunk sounds like an actual weatherman telling us this is going to be the end of times.

 

bump


it's coming again
