Expect a tornado watch to go up pretty soon. Worst time for these things to come through, at night when everyone is asleep. I love storms so I may wait up for them.

[atlfan25]

i love storms too, and hope they arrive before i go to sleep.

[Gatita]

i love storms too, and hope they arrive before i go to sleep.

Getting rid of you in the process I hope.

[AlamoSpursFan]

Did Chief Meter-ologist Jennifer Broome nail this with her 4-Warn Doppler?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Dude, it's like daylight here in Dallas, and the storms are still 15 miles away. *gulp*

[johnny00]

Is there going to be any hail with this storm? if so I'm putting the car in the garage.

[johnny00]

Did Jennifer Broome pull out her doppler again??????

[Ginofan]

Yessss!!! These past few days with the lightning and the thunderstorms at night have been great, I love falling asleep to it!

[MannyIsGod]

Johnny, I'd put that bad boy in the garage if I were you. The main threat around here is probably going to be some strong straight line winds (non tornado winds) and that can kick up all kinds of shit. There will be hail, but I don't think it'll be more than marble size. But, if you've ever heard marble size hail hit cars, you don't want to chance that either.

Put it in dude, put it in.

AHF, the shit you're getting in Dallas won't be as bad as what is coming down here. Just a bunch lightning and what not.

The storms coming down here are mean fuckers. I'd just go to sleep - living in SA for 20+ years get syou a shitload of late night storms - but these actualy look worth staying up for.

[timvp]

Dude, last time I listened to Manny about weather, I lost $25 betting where that hurricane would hit.

[MannyIsGod]

http://www.intellicast.com/WeatherImages/RadarSummary/sat+0OO0O0.gif

The storms coming down here are labled with TVS, which means tornado vortex signature. Basically, that means there is rotation within the storm. And well, enough roatation and next thing you know you have a Palm Harbor home flying around with some cows.

[MannyIsGod]

Dude, last time I listened to Manny about weather, I lost $25 betting where that hurricane would hit.
:lmao

I thought I got that right???

I know I got the snow wrong at first, then right, then wrong, then right. :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manny,

I've only been in Dallas for two months, but there's one thing I've learned about the weather:

Even if it's just a "strong" thunderstorm, not even severe, we get hail with it. Thank God for covered parking, I don't see how people here can go without it.

[johnny00]

Dude, last time I listened to Manny about weather, I lost $25 betting where that hurricane would hit.:lmao

Just to be on the safe side I'm bringig it in now.
All those hail highlights on that last radar pic was enough to convince me!

[MannyIsGod]

That's crazy shit, but I guess it makes sense that the air is colder further north.

The biggest hail I ever saw fell at my Grandparents house in Weslaco, TX, down in the valley near Mcallen. Fucking hail was SOFTBALL sized!!!!!!

You do not want to see what hail that size does to things, it's fucking nuts. Needless to say, I learned how to put a new roof on a house shortly after that. :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

f*ck!

West side of Ft. Worth is getting baseball sized hail.

War covered parking.

[MannyIsGod]

:lmao Maybe you will get a chance to see what softball sized hail does to things. Be safe dude, getting hit with one of those will set you in a casket in no time.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh the hell with that, I am going to be far away from the windows here in a few minutes.

If I wanted to see what that felt like, I'd find someone to hit me in the head with a sledgehammer. No thanks.

[ZStomp]

Hell yea..I'm working right now so it should be fun....as long as I don't get into another accident.

*knocks on wood*

I was wonder why they didn't issue a tornado watch when these storms had tornadic history, but whatever it's the middle of the night and no one can tell. Either way, there's a hook echo in one of those storms. That's not something you fuck around with.

If any of you live out in that area, I reallywoulnd't fuck around if you hear a loud roar. The radar has been indicating a tornado consistently, so even if it's not staying on the ground, it's probably at least dropping down and coming back up. It's nighttime so you can't really get a visual conformation, so this is as good as it's going to get, but I'd say it's for real.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I just went for a little drive, and its crazy as hell out there, It looked like a tornado was going to drop any second, the wind was blowing shit all over the place.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

Since it passed 3:30, does that mean it's cool now?

[Kori Ellis]

The storm is just starting at our house .. rain, wind, thunder and lightning.

[MannyIsGod]

The roation weakend. It's not strong enough to cause a tornado now. But yeah, this storm still has hail and some strong ass winds.

Some people are going to wake up wondering wtf happend to their cars in a few hours.

[Kori Ellis]

We are getting good hail right now.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I hope none of you guys get injured man! Good luck out there! Except maybe Sequ and Mouse, do they live near those areas? and if not, can anyone find a way to get them there?

[GoldToe]

Slept through them.

[SpursWoman]

Some people are going to wake up wondering wtf happend to their cars in a few hours.



Well, not my car....but my alarm clock. :sleep :oops [/almost late for work]



I had no idea we were in for storms last night......

[AlamoSpursFan]

If any of you live out in that area, I reallywoulnd't fuck around if you hear a loud roar.

You don't as much hear a loud roar. It's more like a low pitched rumble that you can feel. If you've ever heard a tornado it is a sound that will be stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

They say it's like a freight train, but not so much. Our warehouse in Del Rio is just across 90 from the train tracks and they run through there about 60 MPH (I guess to keep aliens from hopping on) and it isn't the same sound. It's vaguely similar, but not exactly.

[desflood]

That would have been a great storm to sleep in... unfortunately, when you have a large dog afraid of thunder, there is no sleep :lol

[Duff McCartney]

Man it was just insanity last night..I heard it all in the middle of the night. It was freaking crazy...I thought the window had broken and the rain was coming in the house but it didn't.

[bigzak25]

That would have been a great storm to sleep in... unfortunately, when you have a large dog afraid of thunder, there is no sleep :lol



man, at least i'm not the only sap with a spooked dog...and we have two...one is cool as can be...doesn't give a crap about rain/thunder/lightning....

the other gets spooked and wakes my ass up at 330...i'm thinking she needs to goto the bathroom...which is another pet peeve...but she just wants to go outside to check it out...and she sees the lightning and ran her ass back inside...and then onto the bed...between me and wifey....all night long....i almost kissed the bitch goodbye this morning.... :smokin

[desflood]

Ours, thank goodness, is far too large to be a lap dog (or a bed dog), but that just means there's a big ass dog whining next to the bed all night.

[Duff McCartney]

For my dog being so smart...she's also quite dumb when it comes to rain. Instead of staying under the roof of the patio, she just stays out in the rain. She never goes under the roof when it rains.

[bigzak25]

now that is wierd duffman...never heard of a dog shunning a dry spot for rain.

[MannyIsGod]

That cat was totally spooked last night.

[Jekka]

That cat was totally spooked last night.

Yeah, Momma Cat doesn't usually stay on the bed all night, but she was either at the foot or on the pillows all night awake with her eyes all big. Of course, once the rain was over she went right back to being her normal psycho self making tons of noise. I almost prefer the quiet/spooked. :lol

[Guru of Nothing]

That would have been a great storm to sleep in... unfortunately, when you have a large dog afraid of thunder, there is no sleep :lol

Haha, that reminds me of my old dog. She was not very tall, but she weighed 140 pounds (looked like a small bear with her long black hair). She would freak during a thunderstorm. Well, one night I forgot to lock the back door, and when the thunderstorm hit around two in the morning, she pushed the back door open (the door was a little messed up). Apparently, she made enough noise to awaken my roommate. He thought someone was breaking into the house, so he grabs a baseball hat and slowly walks down the hall. ......It scared the shit out of him when he got a wet dog nose pressed on his hamstring, which in turn scared the shit out of the dog. She ran into his bathroom and jumped into the bath tub. Somehow, he managed to hoist 140 pounds of frightened dog out of the tub and put her back outside.

Meanwhile, I slept through the entire incident.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Well as if waking up to pee 2x's a night ain't freakin pain in the booty enough ( little baby feet in my bladder) ... last night I could NOT go back to sleep with all the wind and rain RIGHT on my bedroom windows. UGH! I am soooooooo tired today.
And I lost a screen.

[Ginofan]

Man that was a great storm! I stayed up till around 2- 2:30 ish just listening to it and then got up at 4:30 this morning and drove to work while it was winding down. That thunder was sooo loud, I thought my bedroom windows were going to break! But overall, pretty impressive show...
