Just found this thread in the sidebar....within @ 1/4 mile to either side of our house, (Johnson County)it looked like it snowed those golfballs!

I would say that we were lucky, as wife said it got dark, then those things just dropped straight down! No winds, thank God, or it would have been worse.

I'm guessing that the trees lost @ 50% of their foliage, and the rest of the leaves that hung on look tattered. We HAD vinyl gutters on the back side of the house - totally useless now. We also had one of those decorative carriage-type lights - toasted. Deep pockmarks remain in the ground.

Wife & I are trying to get back in the planting mood (sigh), since it's been so gorgeous lately we had done alot of work (you know, while you CAN, before the heat comes). I wonder if the trees will recover.

PS....'yous guys' should put stuff on your "about" page(s)...we're probably neighbors! (Like, we could get together and FReep the Dem HQ on the Cleburne square....where they had a "Bush Lies" sign in their window for the longest time....now, they have "Hands off Social Security").
