    Default Bad Weather

    Just got home from work, and I'm glad I made it safe. While at work, we had 3 funnel clouds reported within 5 miles of Target in Sherman, and a confirmed touchdown. We had to take shelter in the back of the store twice! Then we had hail (golfball size), followed by a flash flood warning. It was a scary ride home. Anybody else get anything?

    But seriously, up here in southern Oklahoma (aka Frisco) we've been seeing one helluva light storm but no payoff... perhaps it's yet to come.

    I was a bit further north than that, when I got home there was a tornado in Howe. I think most of it is north of me though.

    I think you can consider me in Canada as far north as I am.

    NOAA has a great radar page on the web if you want to see where the storms are. They just updated it with major highways & topographical info.

    They also have the 7 day weather forcast listed. You can type in any city/state to see what the forcast is there too. I use this quite a bit since I travel for work.

    Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!

    How did the Focus do through the hail? Any chance you finally have a buyer (ie the Insurance Co)?
