REALLY bad winds and hail here

[ashling]

I'm not saying it is a tornado, but we definitely had a LOT of high, high winds and hail hitting the windows on all side of the house.

There are reports of roofs damaged and other damage around here.

I am frankly amazed that all of the windows and roof are still in tact. We are in a house that was built in 1947 or 48. There are trailer homes around us.

Sorry, this is kind of disjointed;

6. serious question

My mothers' brother has lived near DFW for 50 yrs. A dear friend lives in Conroe, I keep remembering a very happy trip to Galveston and Port Aransas. I am glad you are alright.

Keep us posted, okay? So we can stop worrying.

7. 5 inches of rain last night

Two outbuildings damaged. No roof on the chicken house. Lost limbs and a tree out front.

This is the same storm system that spawned the tornado near Cisco (we are just east of there) one person died there. No deaths here as far as I know.

Very sad about trees and damage, but glad you are okay. Scary stuff!

9. Thanks

not over yet.

Most of the bad stuff seems to be tracking south of here, but we've had more than an inch an a half of rain since I emptied the gauge this AM

10. Before and after

I took this first picture in February. This had been a horse stall at one point some years ago. I had finished getting the chickens all closed in 1/2 of it in not long before. The window portions are covered with 1/4" hdwre cloth and covered with builders plastic to keep out the wind. I have stuff stored in the other half
