I was visiting relatives in Sherman. So much lightening that the thunder was just a constant roar. Not sure I've ever seen anything like that.
Agree. Sounded like a 45 minute long freight train. Half of our circuit breakers blew during the storm, so some of the lightening must have been closer than I thought. That was a first.
In the corn field across the street - the stalks are leaning 15 degrees North-South. Drive 300 yards up the road and they lean a little west-east.
Mostly marble size hail, but there was not a lot of it. A few egg size. Few window got cracked.
But strangely, as intense as the wind was, we had some things that generally blow over in light wind did not get touched, like an old basketball hoop in the back and a small fiberglass statuette. Trampoline survived but I do not know how.
Just very, very thankful. Blessed it was not worse. We have dodged a few tornadoes/funnel clouds over the last 6 years we have been in this house. I really thought last night would be our turn.
We may not always get what we want. We may not always get what we need. Just so we don't get what we deserve.
