Well, it's that time of year again. They're calling for possibly severe weather in Houston later this afternoon and the wind is howling something fierce out there. I hope the folks in Throckmorton County are taking cover. Guess I'd better turn Fox News off and put on something local.

I have family in Bell Co,where is thockmorton?

This time of year is just about right. On April 10th, 1979, a big one hit Wichita Falls. It took two days before I found out my family was ok.

The lightnin and thunder are incredible today!!! But this is Texas, and this is SPring. I wouldn't trade it for anywhere else.

Everyone in Texas and other states near these storms - be careful!

I'm east of Dallas in Mesquite and I have a program called Weatherbug. It gives a very good report on the weather for my zip code right here on my computer. It's free at Weatherbug.com. The only thing I did with it that I have to warn people about is that there is a warning sound like a chirp that I had to disable because of all of the alerts in Texas.
