Did ya'll fare well in the overnight storm ?

I live in South Texas. (Deep South Texas. We raise great cactus here.) About 40 miles from Laredo out in the ranch country. We aren't having any storms. We have had unusual heat for this time of year though. It has been up to 109 (Local weather station said 106. That's not what my thermometer read though). Usually it doesn't get up past the 100 degree mark until July and August. Just starting summer a bit early this year, I guess. LOL

Turns out this storm caused the largest weather-related power outage in North Texas history, 10% were without electricity at one point. May be several days before all is restored, and my local grocery store was still throwing out all their refrigerated stock this afternoon.

109!?!? Whoa ! Yeah, that's WAY early high temps even for far South Texas. Wow.

We have had what I think has been fairly moderate temps for this time of year. The last few days we have had low 90's. I think we hit 94 Monday or thereabouts. But for the most part we were in the 80's.

Of course, we're into June now, so Texas Summer is a fixin' to set in REAL soon now, I'm sure. I've lived here WAY too long to thing it's gonna be like this for much longer, lol !
