    It's not over yet. From what I understand we are looking at another big hail storm tomorrow between 7 to 10 pm.

    Will a lot of little dents make your car faster? You know, like the dimples on a golf ball....

    Sirens went off here for an hour straight from 6 to 7.. Like the Okie I am, I stood in the backyard for that hour, looking at the sky.. thoughts of a lawnchair and a drink to make it that much more special.. It moved northeast and out of the area, but it's raining again here, and the lightning is something spectacular..

    No hail at all, all day long.

    Best of luck guys. Our local (New Orleans) news just touched on the bad weather in your neck of the woods. I lived in tornado alley in the 70s and early 80s and know what you're going thru. I rode out the '79 Wichita Falls monster tornado in a steak house that was flattened. Enough about me, be safe!

    Had a mid close call here, sirens went off & had my neighbor with her cat were taking cover at Casa de Huber. She's from Kansas & has seen some mean tornados from what I understand. I've got to say something about these local news channels with tornado & storm chasing weather spotter SUV's, these guys are getting into the thick of it, are they out to kill their interns or what?

    Was looking a little rough here in Keller. Prepared for the dive into the closet with the wife and 3 dogs. Think putting on the motorcycle helmet would help?

    I remember my days hunkered in the interior bathroom of my house in Houston.

    I've been in San Diego and Vegas since 2003 and I've about forgotten what weather is. Sunny and beautiful almost everyday. :p:p:p

    This is the main reason I don't live in the eastern states... Tornados and Ferraris don't mix. I like my things in one place and not scattered. I’ll take my sunny days and earthquakes in California any day :)

    You guy's stay safe out there....

    I agree Tillman. I'm on the water board for our area, and Grapevine was one of the last lakes to fill up last week. We are breathing easier now.
