Sirens in Frisco. Small hail.

Anyone else see that rolling trampoline on Pete Delkus's broadcast?

Why they suggest putting two ground anchors on those things.

Isn't the goal to get people inside well in advance of the storm? I saw people riding bikes in my neighborhood just before the sirens started going off. People are dumb sometimes

Wind is legit, some of the strongest I've experienced living in DFW the past 20+ years. Power flashes everywhere.

It is dangerous to sound these sirens if there isn't an immediate need to take shelter. People may ignore them next time when there's a real tornado.

Some people may need longer to get home than what you think is reasonable.

These are strong straight line winds, are you saying they shouldn't give 5-10 minutes advance notice before dangerous weather impacts an area?

Mine tried to take off with 3 anchors last storm that came through so I upped it to 6 for this one.

Well it's about time to be a dad and go walk around our property in rain for no good reason…why wait for sunlight in AM when I can do it in rain at night.

Useless sirens 30 minutes b4 the storm in north dallas/Richardson.

Power is out. Got cold and heavy winds. Sitting on the back porch (faces east) watching things with the dogs and a glass of wine.

Family is in Nashville. Glad since daughter was freaking out from stupid news reports.

You are doing it wrong. Grab an adult beverage. Sit outside. Appear protective. Enjoy the cool weather......

Aside from the leading edge wind (it was a bit intense) this is nothing.

Hoping the power comes back before the stars game.
