Here's hoping you guys are okay! See y'all have had tornadoes and baseball sized hail.
Good luck to you guys in Oklahoma too.
God bless!

Yup, ok here. Several rather interesting minutes, at different times of the day.

Took these from the garage.







It sucked it self back up, moved and then I looked straight up and caught this.



There have been a lot of tornado's, storm cells but nothing like what Oklahoma and other areas have had.

One went just south of my house by about 1/2 mile and you could hear it. It sounded like a freight train or a continuous thunderstorm roar.
Sean, great shots of the twister, glad you guys are ok.

Damn Alex, had no idea one was down around you. Rog had called me wanting to know if it was safe to get back to his place and it had passed by then. Mike an Laura got stuck in a hospital basement, seemed pretty nasty down there. Doc said things were fine around him. Not heard from some of the crew yet.

Been talking to Jarrod via FB, it's real bad up in Okla.

Poor Oklahoma took another *** whipping yet again. They are some tough folks up there. Hope all check in OK around the Metroplex and parts north. Talked to Scott C via text and he and I were both in the path of a bad super cell and it all of a sudden turned south right before hitting Coppell. Folks in Irving didn't fare as well. Baseball size hail reported along with the tornado that I heard.

All good at my place too. We got golf ball size hail and some minor tree damage but the roof, house and car are fine.
