lake highlands area. Power came back at 10pm last night. Total of 40 hours without. Was actually in the truck, leaving for a hotel when it came back on.

I went out on Tuesday and trimmed about 5 widowmakers from my trees that I didn't see initially. I recommend going out and inspecting your trees before the next storm rolls in.

Exactly. I actually had my trees trimmed last week or I would've probably lost more limbs, The guys are back out here right now cutting down the ones that are still stuck in the trees.

We have surpassed the 48 hour mark in Murphy. I'm hopeful that it will be back on today, but we have some lines down in the neighborhood and no action to restore them yet.

Still out in Lakewood. I'm not hopeful till maybe next week. Just not seeing any damage or people working. That's my biggest concern. Feel as if it's something much bigger than a tree down.

Blowing in now. Came out of nowhere in Kennedale

That was a quick 0.85 in here. My poor neighbor still has a hole in his roof. I'm all for rain but we need a little break mother nature!

Rough end to the week building.

Super saturating rain here with the first wave.

Second wave starting to build out by Wichita Falls and will through later today with more severe potential.

Gonna be more trees getting blown over later, if the models hold.

And THEN there's potential for another round of severe tomorrow. I'm a little skeptical on that if we get a strong round this evening / overnight, but models are signaling enough time for the atmosphere to recover for another round tomorrow.

Anyone have better radar than the Weather Channel app? Something that includes forecasted path. It's been screwy this week.


ETA - finally got some big limbs removed from my trees this morning that were hanging precariously over mine and my neighbor's yard. Been stressing about that for the past day.

I primarily use the Fox 4 WAPP - it's free and shows past/future radar and you can add storm paths as an overlay.

AT's weather app is alright too. A little clunky but I like his YouTube streams and he's based out of OK and does DFW forecasting.

If you're willing to pay a little radarscope is the gold standard

Had 4 inches in the big storm earlier and another 3 today. Geesh

Heavy rain now in west Keller

On generator power at work in North Plano. Can't see another light on that isn't an emergency light in the horizon looking north up the tollway.

looks like some of the cooler air in place may have pulled some of the most violent energy from this current wave rolling through, lots and lots of rain however

Heavy rain since about 10:30 this morning (with about a 30 minute break) in central Plano. Yard is completely waterlogged.

Didn't think to check my gutters yesterday after the wind storm. Apparently they are clogged, now that I am home to see them overflowing.

Weird. I'm near legacy on DNT and we're up and running.

I'm north of you. It's dying down a little, one of our buildings is back on utility.

The atmosphere didn't have time to recover from the morning round before the storms filled in from Wichita Falls.

The question now is whether we catch another round overnight.

Radar projection showing more rain developing on the back side of this in the next couple hours moving south to north. Seems really odd.

If my neighbor's tree got blown out of the ground and landed on my car, they are not responsible for my car correct? They are responsible for tree removal but not the damage to my vehicle because it was natural and not negligence, correct?

They are responsible if they new the tree was susceptible. You'd probably still have a hard legal battle on your hand proving that. If you told them the tree needs to come down based upon advice you got from an arborist, you'd have some good ground to stand on.

Not unless it was a sickly tree clearly at risk of being blown over. A regular tree being blown down is just an act of God and your claim. Even if it was sickly, given the storm thus one got blown down in, you would likely be responsible anyway

Models still showing an overnight event for DFW, in the 2-7AM range.

The stuff that's in New Mexico currently and crossing the border into Texas is what's headed this way.

Strong winds, hail to golf ball and tennis ball size, and isolated tornados all possible.

Sounds like the perfect weather for a 1 day Younger Cub Scout day on Texoma!

Hail south of Fort Worth.

Are you in the older part of Murphy? We're just around the corner from Boggess, between there and the fire station, and never lost power at all.

Somehow I knew I'd need to pull into the garage tonight. I'm ready for this great rain to just be rain

One of the older neighborhoods south of 544 with older homes, and big trees. We finally have a crew working in the neighborhood. I found three instances of downed lines, but guessing there are several more - rear easements + big trees.

Sitting on the tarmac at Love. Storms starting to roll in.

Ain't no gates open. Been sitting here for more than 40 minutes.

Anyone know of any tree trimming groups with availability in DFW? All the ones I call either won't pick up the phone or said they have a list with 500 people on it. We have a limb that's beyond reach of a ladder or our pole saw.
