..but I am getting really tired of waking up at 3AM on work nights.:(
Last nights storm was a wonderfull light and wind display. :clap:
And I have a big chunk of tree laying on my back fence to prove it. :punchout:
That was one nasty storm!
I Haven't assesed the damage at home yet but it looked like all my trees were still standing, my neighbors weren't so lucky.
Even the World Headquarters took a hit from the storm, but luckily where the water came in the building isn't in the "pretty" part & I had the windows up on the 'lac. ::Rain::
I had no power this morning, luckily the new hot water heater they installed a little while back is really efficient and had enough reserve. There were some pretty big trees that got broken off on the way in to work as well.
I will be cleaning stuff out of my pool and picking up branches tonight.
Not up at Propwash! ::Rant::Quote:

Propwash is always batoned down for storms up here, and got no damage that I have seen.
Other airports were not as lucky.
Breckenridge was hammered. Nelson Ezells warbird facility took heavy damage. "White Lightning" and the "Wildcat" damaged, but not serious.
I did see a L-3 flipped and broken, but it had not been out of the hanger in 20 years. It looks repairable.
I wonder how Kevin is?
Addison got damage right across from Cavanaugh. No word on CFM yet.
McKinney got damage as well as Kitty Hawk in Allen.

Took friggin 45 minutes to get from the George Bush to BeltLine on Midway this morning because most of the lights were down and some were in the middle of the intersection!
Tornado sirens went off about 4 am. That was scary!
By the time the sirens went off here (about 3:40) the worst of the storm had already blown over.
We lost power around 4 am and it is still out, so I drove in to the office instead of working from home. It took me 20 minutes to get the 1 mile from my house on to PGBTP. YUCK!!!
What's wrong with this picture? ::BaHump::
The pool is too clean? Mine looks like crap after all of the crap the storm blew in to it!

Dang Dave, that's brutal!
Dave, you got insurance for that?
This is 3/4 mile from my house.
Yeah, but with my deductible so high, I may go hire some day labor and see if I can fix it myself...;)Quote:

5 LISD schools in that area were closed all day. They have said power is back to them now and school will be held tomorrow.
We didn't get much of anything except rain and thunder, but business has picked up... I've cleared a big tree over one fence and have taken down another fence in preparation for repair tomorrow in the last few hours. We've got a LOT of jobs coming in right now.
