What meteorologists call a supercell thunderstorm passed across North Texas, damaging homes with hail the size of softball. In Wise County, emergency dispatchers received two reports of damaged homes early this morning. A Wise County emergency dispatcher said one home had windows shattered because of hail and the other had its windows blow in by straight-line winds. The dispatcher said there was hail the size of baseballs out at Decatur Airport and softball-sized hail at the sheriff's department. National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Shoemaker said the system is "a pretty good storm" that had produced winds as high as 50 miles per hour.)

1. My sympathy goes to those whose homes were damaged

2. Damn, my brother lives in Decatur, Texas

I need to give him a call and see if he had any damage.

3. Sorry to hear that

We had one of those here in Mid Mo a couple of years ago. If you have any damage from that, get your claims and contracts for the work done early. It turned into a year long nightmare here with homes and cars stacked up for months trying to get repaired. And beware the con artists, they will be descending like locusts on your area shortly.

4. Luckily, we just got golf-ball sized, and not even the cars were dimpled.

But it sure was a loud drumming at 3 in the morning.

I thought maybe HRC was calling. ;-)
