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.
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!
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.
Yes you are correct - it was Mayfest. There was a girls softball tourney going on as well and we passed many vehicles on I20 coming home from the DFW area that had horrible hail damage. I recall one car headed to Midland that had cardboard covering almost every window and the windshield was in really bad shape - I wasn't really sure how he was driving to be honest.
um, what’s gonna happen to UD when they move to the new stadium???
