It's now 10 pm Tues, and I'm in Menard, with the rain is making abominable noises on the motel roof.
Departed the upper Upper Peninsula Sun afternoon, overnight Austin MN. Wichita with my bother Mon pm. Tuesday AM I got hailed on north of OKC. By traveling 81 south from Hennessey to Bowie Tx I avoided I-35 and then wiggled SW through Stephenville & Brownwood. The stretch from Brady to Menard whitened the knuckles a bit with 00 buckshot-sized hail, frequent scenic lightning bolts, and wind gusts jumping the Taco half-lanes sideways.
Can a native Texan identify this squall as either a toad-strangler or a duck-drownder?
