Well, I hope all is well for the 8th annual TCMS.
The very first one we had, we rode out tornadoes.
It surprised our out of state friends.
I said we gotta go now! and they were sipping coffee having dessert and looking at me like *What?*
Prayers up.
The cells that hit you are just now getting here.
Here comes the water.
But I think this thing is about done for the night tornado wise.
I’m watching the DFW FOX station....I heard an EAS Activation in the background about 3 minutes ago. What’s this one about?
Love that story! Well you will have weather girl pen to back you up this time should hell break out. I once stopped a little league game..every one hated me....then a tornado roared by very close. Nobody ever said another word to me...lol..the rest of my son’s little league career....lol.
Lots of thunder & lightning here in n.e. corner of the metroplex.
Prayers up for those folks in cleburne & south Dallas!
Hitting here now..I have seen worse....no doubt. Wind just blew the back door inwards..a little creepy..but not too bad.
Prayers for you now!

So sad...prayers continue.
They are evacuating People in Granbury..gas leaks..major ones. That might be it. Scanners now calling for people to help injured animals.
All the Texans were instinctively gone LOL
Scanners now calling for people to help injured animals.
I am gonna close the windows pull up the covers soon.
I bet I am still here in the AM.
That is good news.
Hate to laugh at that right now..but dang gum..that is funny! Texans know...
Good point..haven’t thought of that. Still hate to think of injured animals. I was worried tonight about my feral cats that live in my greenhouse when the hail reports were grapefruit size.
