They had some on the news here last night, some poor chap got his windshield destroyed by what looked like two or three hits from hail.

I got all of that here, south of Houston. I haven't found any damage to my stuff yet, but brother in law had both of the plastic roof vent covers on his FunSeeker get stoved in, creating quite a mess inside! If folks out there haven't checked theirs yet, you probably should!

I think most of the severe weather occurred North of you and to the West of Fort Worth.

He should consider himself lucky with just some hail damage. Several homes,cars, and trees were destroyed in Texas.

I have no doubt, reports I have been reading said near softball sized.

That would put a dent in the ol' skull.....

The major stuff was south of Abilene heading to Forth Worth. Abilene did not even get any rain. Brownwood got hit with a F1 tornado, lucky there was no loss of life.

My area got hit hard, we got hit by the same storm that hit Cleburne state park. My neighborhood didn't get any damage, but 4 miles to the west in Kopperl they got tore up!! My buddies shop is totaled, another one of my friends his carport fell on top of a 2014 chevy pickup, HUGE oak trees were pulled out of the ground like weeds, lots of roofs damaged.


I went with out power from 9:00 P.M. Sunday till 9:00 A.M. today, we stayed in our camper last night so that we had power and could take showers.

Pics of my buddies shop, and a picture of one of the old buildings.

We had winds of about 75mph. I got out and looked at my roof with a spotlight when it died down, but it's all good. We got a lot of rain in a short time. My trailer's in covered storage...

Yep - and some people still doubt that everything is bigger in Texas.

If it's the true,it ain't lying.

we got the straight line winds, flooding, massive size trees down, no electric for 15 hrs. In a 40 mile radius, our property it threw by 6 ft. ladder 30 feet into the trees, knock down some of our big trees, and flooding over bridges and roads. It appears we are ok other than that.
