Strong winds, 2" Rain, and an awesome lightening show was all we got in McKinney.

Looks like a tornado up near Howe and Bells.

Huge thunderstorm with marble-golfball size hail at Belton Lake.

We are getting pounded.



I am a golfer. And hail is bad bad bad bad and bad.

It's by the lake. Looks closer to tennis ball from what I've seen. Good luck. Glad I'm not there for this round

Sitting here now watching that storm from my front porch in Gatesville. It went just to the east of us by a few miles. Can't remember the last time I've seen this much lightening.

So the opposite of a tornado, right?

Basically, as a thunderstorm collapses, you get a downdraft of cool air headed straight down, When it hits the ground, it spreads out in all directions, sort of an inverted mushroom. It can be damned impressive. I lost a center pivot to one years ago. The pivot guy said the pivot was rated to withstand 90mph winds.

In the Delta airlines crash referenced above, they flew into one side of a microburst, then out the other side. SO even if it had been a mild burst of say, 35mph, they went from a 35mph headwind, to a 35mph tailwind. A delta of 70mph almost instantly.

Not like a tornado. A tornado has rotation.

Micro and macrobursts are the same thing, it's a macroburst if it's greater than 4km in diameter.

I remember reading a story about an Aggie on the plane sliding down the wing and getting his Aggie ring snagged on a piece of metal.

One of my classmates was on the highway stuck in traffic and saw the plane hit cars in front of her. Can you imagine? Powerful storms. I remember taking off weeks later and still seeing the crash site.
