It sure is. This is the best soak Farmers Branch has had in months. Thank goodness that's all we got tonight. Getting some powerful thunder and lightning right now.

Crap..now another coming down through Azle..huge hail core.
Someday I’ll show you a monster hailstone from May Fest ‘95.
Storm chaser on facebook posting direct from brother who is a cop in Godley and called to go to Granbury and said around 30 people missing and entire families were eating dinner and their homes completely collapsed.
Yes. That was earlier today. Seems the worst of it is now over in Grandbury, but they got hit bad. Very bad. One kid said his neighborhood is gone.

KDFW coverage from the Fox News site:

The Jarrell twister was doing unbelievable things that nobody knew about because nothing was left. What was left had to be quickly rescued to get survivors out of flattened houses. You can’t let the public or even the rescuers know how bad it is if you need them to keep rescuing.
The next day, after the damage was known, everybody just fell apart with grief. Property owners were angry at not being able to get to their houses.. because parts of people were everywhere for miles and the rescuers themselves were psychologically falling apart.
A mile-wide slow-mover even at 175mph is destroying everything it touches. I’m praying Granbury had Angels moving them out of harm’s way.
Oh dear God!! This Granbury stuff sounds awful. My heart is breaking for these people.
Heart-breaking.
You just can’t catch a break!

no..........
Yep...creepy silence sucks on all fronts.
Thanks for that input regarding the Jurrell twister.
It’s hard I know...spent three weeks helping around Biloxi shortly after Katrina. Sometimes I still don’t believe what we did/saw there.
I freaked myself out bigtime.
Don’t say that..I feel blessed right now. Heart breaking for Granbury folks.
Abby barking now...she doesn’t like the sound of things to come...lol
I mentioned it yesterday, to a co worker.
