Spring time in TX
Where tornados, baseball size hail, and Gail force winds are the norm.
    At least it makes for interesting skies.

Spring in TX, Ok, KS can be eventful. Having grown up in DFW I have seen lots of car-nage..
I remember trying to save my Dads Jetta in the 70's as I was coming out of the grocery store and golf ball size hail starting coming down. I made a break for the car to move it to cover... Ha hail beat me down and I ran for cover... Poor Vee Dub never stood a chance. The baseball size stuff is just down right Lethal!

About 15 years ago we were about 20 miles south of Abilene (TX) and were caught out on the open road (not so much as a tree to pull under) in a hail storm of just quarter sized hail. All we could do was pull off the road and cringe as the fairly new F150 suffered major hail damage... a very helpless feeling.

Doppler radar detected Egg size hail near Denton, TX, Lewisville, TX and Aubrey, TX on March 27, 2017. This hail storm was traveling ENE at 28 mph and the entire storm produced hail for roughly 2 hour(s). There were 39 spotter report(s) with reported max hail size of 4.25" and an average hail size of 2.23". We estimate that 46,015 buildings were in the affected area and the probability of hail DHI detected was significant. Based on this information, you can expect widespread, severe damage to tiled roofs, automobiles, and aircraft over highly populated areas. Risk of personal injury is also high, and is often accompanied by other severe weather events (wind, tornadoes).

the text asks you to confirm by replying with yes. Could you have checked NO and avoided the weather?

We had a nice run here as well. The sound was pretty scary. All cars were in the garage but I think the roof will need to be replaced.
