    ...For a strong front pushing through this evening!

    A squall line producing 60 MPH winds and quarter sized hail is already popping into place on the west side of Ft. Worth.

    Batten down the hatches!

    http://www.wfaa.com/weather/ --follow along this evening...

    Just a heads up. Secure your patio furniture, bring in the dog, etc.

    It won't get as cold, but a friend of mine in Colorado went from shorts weather yesterday to snow this morning!

    North Texas 'brace yourself' -- dude you're not getting hit by Ike. Was this thread posted by Dirk Nowitski ?

    You've been in the Dallas area too long IROC -- you're getting soft.

    "Uh, everything's under control. Situation normal."
    "Uh, we had a slight electrical power malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"
    "Uh, uh... negative, negative. We had a roof leak here now. Give us a few minutes to seal it down. Large leak, very dangerous.
    "Uh..."

    Lightning strikes... .

    i.e. my power went out, then came back on, I lost my internet connection, I had to reset my router, I shortened my projection TV lamp life, and my dogs slobbered saliva on me. But, we're all good here...thanks. :)
