Tie dye is never a good color for one's local radar.

Baseball sized hail possible.

[TBF]

1. We lived in Dallas for a year and I'll never forget that hail.

It really is no exaggeration. Stay safe!

2. I lived in Houston for a few years.

The scariest thing for me were the tornados. I've seen an eighteen wheeler wrapped around a post like a piece of aluminum foil.

4. Lightening freaks me out

Had a lightening bolt come down our chimney and catch a plastic plant on fire (it was on the hearth--or however it is spelled). So we had fire/smoke/electrical damage to the tune of $12,000--insurance covered all but $500 of it. Lived in a hotel for 10 days. A/C unit, fridge, dishwasher, phone lines, vcr's, TV, modem line(heh, turned off the 'puter but left the modem we used at the time for dial up still hooked up) ALL fried.

Yeah, lightening scares the hell out of me. LUCKILY it came down the fireplace and didn't hit the roof directly, the house would have been a total loss.

6. Wow, what a freak occurance.

I once had a lightning bolt strike a transformer 30 feet from my office, but the computer and all the electrical gadgets went haywire, then returned to normal after the power company sent a couple of technicians up the phone pole to fix the thing.

3. Frickin psychotic weather

I had 9 inches of snow on Saturday. Tonight, less than 48 hours later, I had hail, high winds and tornado warnings.

Stay safe.

5. And the national weather radio just lost power.
