jinman: Thanks! I thought maybe there was some seasoning and baking needed.

Tornado near Milsap! No rain or tornado here yet, but lots of thunder and lightening. Earlier this week, weatherman said "chance of rain, but no chance of severe stuff". I still say I need to get my hands of the weathermen, and wring their necks!

And y'all, I was out playing with my JD 1050, getting it ready for more work, when this stuff hit. If I had known I might get some rain playing with my tractor, I'd have been doing that, NOT washing my truck, all along.

Bad weather on both Jim and Farmgirl right now, you guy's let us know your OK. The severity is certainly a surprise, 5 tornado warnings so far

Pea sized to dime sized hail, right now. I want and need the rain, but the rest of it, I could certainly do without. Thanks for asking, Western. Will check in again soon.

Good so far Farmgirl, it 's right on top of Weatherford right now!!
Wife spoke to a girl she worked with, who lives in Mineral Wells, they said they roof is destroyed from HUGE hail! All I have had so far is a few showers move through. Large violent storms North and South of me right now.
Hoping Jim's wish for "no hail" is what he's getting..no hail

Dime and pea sized hail is all I got; very little of either with mostly rain. 1-1/2" in one gage and slightly less in another that isn't level. I can see that water went across my beans in a couple of spots in the garden, but mostly the plants are happy. This deep watering should be a gigantic kick-start. I worked for two hours tying up my tomatoes to the stakes today and it paid off because the tomatoes didn't get blown around. So far this has been all good. If we get more, I'll be even happier. My ponds need a lot of runoff.

Thanks ocne again, Western! About the time the hail quits and you think it might be gone for good, it begins again. Now up to nickle sized. Rain is coming down though, so that is a plus. My rain gauge in the front is leaning a little, due to some winds. Not going out to stand it up in the hail though. It is showing an inch, just in the last half an hour. My stock tank needs the runoff. My back door doormat is washed halfway down the sidewalk. I'll pull it back up when the hail moves away!
