the rain in spain...


The rain in Spain may fall gently on the plain...but not here in Texas. This is a pretty ominous looking cloud. We had a pretty severe super cell thunderstorm roll through last night.


We were under a Tornado Warning, so Val and Will took cover in our "bunker." It is our closet. They had story time and cookies.



I on the other hand was watching the storm. We had pretty strong wind and rain and intense hail. Fortunately, the hail was not as big as just a little bit west of here. In Mineral Wells, pretty much anything that was exposed got demolished by tennis to baseball size hail. The report is that all of the skylights at the Walmart were knocked out. Also, every car in the parking lot was totaled. There was also pictures of the hail from Weatherford. The hail was so thick that it looked like it had snowed.

You need to check your roof for hail damage. If it is damaged contact your insurance to see if they will replace the roof.
