I've been looking fot this all day. Even the Texas news channel just talking about mostly Austin.
Wonder if this weather affected the "Rumble at the Ranch" scheduled for this afternoon in Crawford, Tx by the Minutemen?
You alright, Valerie?
We were under a tornado watch/warning last night in south eastern NM and there was one tornado on the ground. Then the storms moved on off into TX.
I don't know about that, but my son was out for dinner tonight in Waco for his senior prom with his date and another couple. Some of the Minutemen were at the same restaurant. The Minutemen sat at a nearby table and as they were leaving, the Minutemen walked by their table, told them how nice they looked, and plunked down a $100 bill and said that dinner was on them. I can't wait until he gets home to tell me the whole story!
We had quite a storm early today, 5 hours south of Waco!
oh, I'm fine. I am in austin. We had a wild thunderstorm as I got off work tonight and I was thoroughly soaked by the time I got to my car. That's about it.
Please stay safe everyone. Our prayers are with you.
How nice:')
Did you take any pictures?.... of the storm that is?
Thanks for posting, that is great. I imagine he and his date are thrilled as well they should be. And congratulations to your son and his date for their graduation.
It's good to hear the Minutemen were their at dinner, sounds like the weather wasn't a problem. Thanks again.

Now that is a prom night that will never be forgotten! Well done, Minutemen!
My dad and his wife live in Hewitt on Bellaire,all must be well ,no one bothered to call. My brother lives just down the road in Lorena.
In Southwest Houston, about 6:30 a.m. this morning, we lost electricity due to a huge bolt of lightning. Seemed like the house shook a little.
Electricity came back on in about 3 minutes, and the storm went past very quickly. Didn't rain very much.
I believe they are predicting the same in the morning.
We took a drive around town after dinner and there was some damage, mostly in the industrial/commercial part of town. There was a story on the local news this morning about a young woman who was caught out in the storm in her car and was afraid, so she inched her car (slowly) THROUGH the glass doors at the mall and parked inside. I just don't know what to say about that.
Hewitt, just south of Waco, was made famous by Willie Nelson when he pulled over on I35 to sleep off the effects of whatever he was smoking. When the cops checked his vehicle, a small amount of drugs was discovered.
My sister is near there (Rebaj). A lot, as of this evening are without electricity and phone. She had trouble getting thru even on her cell. She said a lot of trees down and wind damage but she thought everyone ok.
Me either:') If a tornado chasing me though........
