Whew!

 A HUGE storm system moved through Central Texas last night.  80 mph wind gusts, 2-4" (yes, that's inches) hail, amazing lightning.  The worst of it went 10 miies north of us, and we got maybe 1/8" of rain out of it. I'm very grateful we were spared the brunt of it.  Lots of my friends lost trees, will have to replace their roof, or make major claims on their cars.

Here are some impressive pictures from our newspaper.

OMG! That is some amazing storm damage. I can't believe the amount of hail in some of those pictures. I've seen a few pretty impressive Texas storms, but never 18" hail drifts. That's just remarkable.

Yeah, I have never seen hail that big. That is ridiculous. I'm so glad it missed you. I hope all of your friends are ok!
