Love to sit on the front porch sipping cheap wine and watching a thunderstorm roll in.
This one is shaping up to be more intense than most.

Headed our way, Birdie. Looking like early hours Friday.

Sounded like someone casually throwing rocks, before the storm hardly started.

Make sure the manure holding your grass hut together doesn't get soggy.

Only thunder out here Mike. That said, the vehicles are in.

Big storm woke me at 5:00 am today. Huge lightning show and 4” of rain. More big storms rolling through tonight.
Had some golf ball sized hail last week here.

Some of the best sleeping is done under a tin roof.
It makes a small shower seem like a flood.

Make sure the manure holding your grass hut together doesn't get soggy.  Mud huts defy all expectations to those without experience with ‘em, thatch roofs too. A good hour plus long heavy rain, another round inbound, we need it.

Norman OK, about 10 miles south of us, just had a multi-million dollar thunderstorm roll through with high winds and tennis ball sized hail. Car windshields were shattered, and even home glass windows shattered. Poles blown over, obvious roof damage. So far no report of tornado, just high winds, rain and hail. https://www.news9.com/story/608a263...ilstorm-causes-damage-flooding--outages-

Not sure who Hal is, or why he is banging off on the roof of your neighbor's carport, but if I were you I would call the cops

This far South we usually escape the worst storm damage, even as compared to the North Side of San Antonio, gotta be an elevation thing.
2:00am, ‘Nother cell moving in (third round).
The local toads (plains toads) are throwing a party in the ditch down the street, around here they gotta make hay while the sun shines,metaphorically speaking.

A foot of thunder and lightening here.

After watching his first hailstorm, my young nephew thought hail popped out of the grass and he was afraid to step on it.
The same kid would give snapping turtles a 50’ cushion - for all he knew they were as fast as cats.
Nephew grew into one of the most practical people I know.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
