Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Western]

Well the rain is here, and I mean!!! Wife said they are flooding in NW Weatherford. I think we will all get to share this one as it looks to be quite large. Currently heavy rain, unusually light wind

Tornadoes reported in South DFW area.

Channel 8 has live coverage of the Tornado in Dallas, Just south of downtown

Hope everyone in and around the D/FW area is in a safe place. Hearing some real bad reports in that area with tornados, hail and rain.

Had a very bad hail storm in the RGV last week end. Hit McAllen area pretty hard. Rough weather.

Hope everyone is in a safe place.

The fat guy in Sunset with the new ponds is getting only 1/10" or slightly more. However, no tornado or hail either.:thumbsup:

The city's Code Red system has called our home phone 3 times and my cell phone once with tornado warnings, but fortunately so far just a nice rain and it's coming straight down; no wind at all at this point. Looks like my gauge has about 15" so far, but still a moderately heavy rain falling.

I'm just north of DFW Airport and we got hail and lots of rain. I would guess the lakes will be full by the end of today. Hope everyone is ok...

Hunker down North Texas!

7/10ths with marble size hail, but will take it as is. no tornadoes.

Did you guys watch the live coverage?, man those tornadoes are powerful, Pete Delcus has done an excellent job, as usual, with his coverage. Couldn't believe the semi trailers getting picked up and thrown a few hundred yards. Haven't heard of any fatalities, but some injuries so far. Allot of damage.

We've been watching Channel 8 and feel sorry for some of those people. It appears to all be over for us, and all we got was a very nice .3" of rain, straight down, a little thunder, but no wind and very little lightning. Couldn't have asked for a better lawn watering. Glad I used my hedge shears on the shrubs in front of the house before it started.

You got that right Bird, they way it looked early on, I thought you a Jim would get flooded, but I guess most of the energy was East. I cant believe how that tornado just seemed to hang around S. Dallas like it did, almost 30 minutes tearing things up.
