We were expecting some serious hail damage. Schools let out early.
We are hearing tomorrow.greybeard":2o41qlst said:It got rough here. Had to saw my way out to the 1st county road, and then some more sawing to get to the first FM road. Over 20 trees down on powerline or roads within 1 mile radius of my house. No structural damage that I can see, but there is livestock running loose in the forest once again. I count 5 trees down on mine, 3 are on fences. Some broke off at the ground, some uprooted. I don't know for sure that it was a tornado, but my house was shaking and my yard looks like someone just grabbed it and shook it .
I so hate trees!!!
Entergy's phone message says 90,000 customers without power in this area and that restoration will be 6pm. I'm not nearly that optimistic. Then again--the message didn't say which day at 6pm.
Good to know I'm not the only one that does itcow pollinater":289jwkb5 said:Maybe there's something wired wrong in my head but I really enjoy these storms. I sat on the porch from about midnight to three watching the lightning and it was right on top of me.
