In Texas… made it through a very bad hail storm among other things.  That’s all for now.  More updates tomorrow!!!

It’s hailing right now (I just took this from the hail on my balcony):

Hail

Yeah… storms are bad (supposedly we had the small hail), already had at least 5 tornadoes reported with (so far) four or five fatalities at a Boy Scout Camp (Little Sioux Scout Ranch).  We’ll have to check on the car when it all stops.  The news just reported that the street that runs by my work has flooded over the bridge there… it’s raining at about 2 inches an hour now.  Ugh. Here’s a shot from the storms I took two days ago:

Lightning!

I swear, it’s never ending here.  More if anything develops (power keeps flickering… dunno how long it’ll last).

Not a major post, but our evening has been interrupted as we’ve had some major storms rolling through here, and you can see by this radar shot (we are around where the arrow is):

Storms

Yikes, right?  Turns out there was at least one tornado (our tornado sirens were going off for a good 10 minutes or so), golf ball sized hail, and lots of lightning.  I was able to get this shot of a bolt of lighting when the storm started:

Lightning!

But after that I left all the picture taking to Jessica:

Go Jess!

Lightning!

The girl is a natural!  Now that it’s all over, we need to get all of our plants back outside, as they’re scattered all over our living room (the cats are locked in the bedroom) and it looks like a jungle in here.  Storms kinda throw everything off!
