Hypothetically if you set out a bucket and caught hail could you pour whiskey over it? Asking for a friend.

You could, but hail is pretty dirty.

Is there some geographic/scientific phenomenon that makes it to where the really bad sh/t is ALWAYS in the northern burbs?

It's part of John Wiley Price's deal with the devil. He doesn't ever go to jail, and the northern burbs get all the bad storms and toll roads.

Almost brought this up too. The JWP explanation makes a lot of sense though

That lead supercell storm earlier put on quite the show across Northern Tarrant county. I was actually out and about and followed it up to 820 in Lake Worth. Parents got hit in Eagle Mountain. Apparently the lightning was worse than the hail for them. More stuff off SW. Not sure if it will make it but worth keeping an eye on after midnight.

I'm in haslet alliance n ft worth at 287 and 35w. We have 2" hail stones that pelted our home. Not sure if tornado touched down but the rotation was right by us. I saw the hook developing on the radar and before the sirens sounded I got the 4 kids (7month twins, 3yr old, 5 ye old) and we sheltered.

In anticipation of the storm I used bags of mulch to protect the sunroof and windshield. Looks like the car was spared except for some aerodynamic dimples I added to the hood of car
Others were not lucky and had their car glass damaged

Concrete serves as a heat sink that is slower to dissipate than bare ground. These storms are like hurricanes. They need to be over warm surfaces.

Having lived less than a mile from a large D/FW lake for almost 3 years I agree. I know lake effect snow is a reality but I think it goes beyond that, just haven't bothered to research the theory yet.

Our last house was in a neighborhood southwest of town that frequently got bad lightning strikes. Had a lightning rod guy come out and asked a similar question. His response was something along the lines of storms have always gone where they wanted to...in the past we were smart enough not to build houses in areas that routinely took bad storms. Notice there are no native trees in this area, but a mile down the road there is a forest?

I really don't think the guy had an 8th grade education, so likely no scientific basis to that, but makes you wonder. California houses falling into the sea and all...

Yup, the Corps of Engineers put the lakes where water could run off and collect

Radar on that storm last night was indicating 4in hail across North Ft Worth. Almost verified with a 3.25in stone in Keller. My parents underestimated hail size last night. West side of their house got shredded. Quite the storm!!

Using bags of mulch to protect your car is pretty ****ing smart. I'm going to remember that one for the future.

In classic 'bags of mulch' fashion, I'm sure I'd buy half as many as I actually needed and have to make a return trip to Home Depot.

I see your bags of mulch and raise you a garage space.

But agreed - that's an ingenious Aggie-approved protection scheme.

That storm was BRUTAL. We spent it under cover at a Mobil station.

Ha. There are at least two Home Depot / Lowe's Axioms in my life:

1. Not buying enough mulch or soil.
2. Ultimately end up returning at least 25% of what I buy there.

I haven't really thought much about today really, should be north and east of DFW. However, one of the models had a couple of intense storms blowing up over the DFW area. Obviously, very large hail and wind gust would be likely. Guess we shall see later this afternoon.
