The in-laws had baseball size hail Saturday evening. Broke some windows, dented vehicles, took all the leaves and small limbs off all the trees, and they're looking for injured livestock now.

Anyone else get anything out of the storm? This was Mason County

I got a lightning strike to my oak tree that took out a bunch of networking equipment.

And a dead deer in my front pasture.

That's it where I am, but as unfortunate as it is, I've met some cool Ags because of it with work so that's a silver lining. Insurance will cover my fried stuff. No loss of life for us so it could be worse. Hope all the critters made it.

It seemed to die when it got to me in Kingsland, I was watching the live storm chasers around the first storm that started around Ballinger I believe. They chased it to Brady and then gave up around Llano. There were some storms behind it that split, some towards Mason/ F'burg and some others Brady/San Saba. I'm glad we missed out on the hail, but we didn't even get a drop of rain.

Look like we may have a repeat tomorrow and Wednesday.

We got some hail here in Fredericksburg but nothing of note. Lots of leaves and small limbs down but very minor damage to vehicles and structures. My parents live about 10 miles north of town (closer to Mason County line) and they got some bigger hail that damaged vehicles and the like. All the livestock are accounted for and injury free.

Where do you find their live streams?

Twitter

TX Storm Chasers has an app and a You Tube channel, they are based out of DFW and upload a lot on days when something may be happening.

They were having upload problems Saturday so I found another group of storm chasers who did not and they were literally driving in the same group of cars at times.

Thanks I'll look them up!

The cell that did damage around Mason and NW of FBG fizzled out just before it got to my place. 1.5" of rain without much significant hail.

It was strange. There is a line about halfway through the property where the hail stopped. Destruction on one side, untouched on the other

My buddy near Mason had golf ball sized hail at his place. Tore his vines all to hell and made a wreck of things.

It was really spotty around FBG. Had some scattered hailstones the size and shape of an egg that dented vehicles in town

None just north of Albert.

What part of Mason County? Hoping our camp house and campers are ok at the lease between Art and Castell.

Baseball to grapefruit size hail near Waco earlier.

You should be fine that far East. This was on the western edge of the county

Curious to see what happened around Clifton…

We had a great storm come through tonight on the north side of Lake Belton. We sat out and watched it come in for about two hours before being chased in the end by the rain and hail. And Lightning.


Hope the folks north of us come out alright.

Bunch of us guys at the deer lease in Kendall County for work wkend. Outside watching the PPV fights. Main card had just finished when we started getting pelted by grape sized hail. Our trucks were parked under oaks but still had several dings. My fiberglass bed cover got the worst of it.

My bad! I should've said Saturday night we were at the lease. I see now how that reads!

Watch out again today.



Wind and Hail

Ended up being mostly contained. I barely picked up any rain at all. It split west of me. Lol. Pipe creek and bulverde weren't so lucky, so that's where my Saturday will be spent it seems, then off to Fredericksburg again.

Yep. Tore up the asphalt shingle roof of my (self-insured) office pretty good, and busted holes in the older fiberglass panels in my metal buildings. Fun stuff. I guess I needed more repair projects.

Anyway, the day after, I went to Home Depot to buy some tubes of roofing cement to put band-aides on the torn up shingles where the water leaked through.

Next to me on the aisle was a Hispanic guy buying cases of plastic cement cartridges. I looked over at him and said "You too?". He paused for a minute and said back "Mucho leaks."

Later I realized he was buying the $3.00/tube stuff, while I was buying the $10.00/tube stuff, and thought -- he probably knows there's no difference and I'm the chump.

There is a difference. Longevity, durability, adhesion, all better on more expensive sealants. If you replace your roof damage within 6 months, you won't notice a difference. But also, dude at HD is likely doing side work and emergency repairs. Buy caulk in bulk, 3/tube, drive around selling your services for 200-500 per customer in an area where that type of repair can't wait….it'll feed his family for a while, cash only, zero overhead. I'd like to be mad about it since he has no insurance but capitalism is a beautiful thing and I can't fault him for wanting to work.

We had small hail in round rock. Nickel and dime size. Not a huge storm but had some damage to a car.

Geez. This is some big hail! Glad the bull is ok.
