Looks like north central Texas is in for some bad weather today! Hail and tornado season XS - I hope your daughter doesn't get to experience that this spring.

One May, I believe, the Fort Worth area had such a bad hail storm the hail was coming through the roofs and siding of homes!

You forget that due to UD's proximity to the home of God's favorite football team there is a zone of protection that diverts the severe weather away from the UD campus. Brutal storms can shut down DFW Airport and send the entire area into a panic, but the really bad weather tends to pass right around the UD campus.

I remember that well. It was the opening day of Mayfest (first Friday in May) and the hail caused a lot of damage and some pretty serious injuries to some of the revelers. There were some cars that were totaled by the hail damage.
