Our neighbor is moving to outside of Dallas soon, I'm not sure he knows what he's in for.

You guys scared the hail out of me.

Did you put yours in a highball glass with some Scotch?

Apparently it's good luck?

I agree that needs to be combined with an adult beverage! Your Dog is looking like he has been there before :)

That's the word!

Hail beating on everything you own in TX, going to Sunday lunch with my grandparents in OK city and taking the long way there because a twister has touched down a few blocks away.... huddling in the basement of a home in Topeka KS as the sirens sounded for Heavy Weather. Yea the I35 corridor has two great things...BBQ and Biblical weather!!

Mike, need more pictures of the roofer.

Well, look on the bright side; after the spring shart storms pass, we've got humid, 95-100+ degree weather to look forward to, until well into October! There's nothing quite like being in the garage at 1:00AM and it's still over 90 outside! :D

Well don't that frost your iron.

The sound when the club hits the hail, is amazing to me. I have lived in snow, but never experienced hail.

I'm in N TX so no humidity.

95-100 would actually be preferable to what we actually get.

Before I moved here I used to see ridiculous triple digit temps during national weather reports and think "no effin way"

But there is truth to the dry heat thing.

100 in the shade with no humidity is very tolerable.

It's when you step into direct sunlight that you feel it.

The sun is so strong you instantly feel it starting to sear your skin.

Even in the dead of winter you feel it.

The sounds of those hail stones breaking on the driveway, roof, and chimneys was horrifying. At one point my Son went into the attic to see if they came through.


First year we moved here it didn't get below 100 for several weeks. The house never got cooler then 77. Even at 3AM.

I try to tell folks from other parts that the sun actually stings you when it hits. I've been to Death Valley when its over 115, and Arizona in the middle of summer when its 105, and St Louis when its 100F with 100RH but there is nothing like the Texas sun. I swear we have no Ozone layer!

(As for the dog, the yellow lab is the wifes seeing eye dog - the dog is seriously collected. My choco lab was a bit concerned and my Daughters Cha-Weenie was a pissing mess.)

Dry heat? You must be talking about San Antonio ..... ;)

Like this one that punched a hole in the front of my house?

Here comes another round. NW Texas is getting pounded.

I remember years back being the farthest from the 19th hole, and seeing a wall of green. Not cool. We found what shelter we could, and just walked in after it passed, there was no sense in even trying to find your golf ball.

and this is why we have the highest homeowners insurance rates in the country.. hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, etc., etc.

Here it comes again

yep...

Ya know, there's a place in this country that doesn't have biblical weather.
or earthquakes.
Or floods.
Or 120 degree heat.
Or 10 foot snowdrifts.


I'm going to retire there:
