Bad stuff happened about a mile south of us.
I watched the sky flashing constantly at 2am, like there was a herd of cop cars up there with their blue lights on.
They have power poles and trees down on the roads.
They are still trying to decide if it was a tornado because they got hail too.
All hail in-ground power!

Only a mile, @Supervisor42 !
All hail indeed. High humidity last night as I drove home, couldn’t keep the windshield as clear as I like it. Drove through pockets of fog. It was in the 70s.

Below us:

By 4:45 a.m., the Youngsville area had sustained significant damage. Crews reported multiple single—and double-circuit poles broken out of the Youngsville substation. The area around Detente and Deacon Roads alone saw seven broken double-circuit poles, with additional fallen trees complicating the situation. As daylight broke, more damage became visible, prompting crews to prepare and load equipment for repairs. Treetrimming crews were dispatched to begin clearing debris. ....
By 9:00 am, SLEMCO updated the community on the progress and challenges ahead. Currently, 4,800 customers remain without power. Efforts are concentrated on the three-phase line near Detente Road on Highway 339, where multiple structures are down. This area has witnessed significant property damage, with trees down across side roads, homes damaged by fallen trees, and collapsed barns and roofs.

Severe t-storm watch here until 8pm! The radar is lit up to the northwest !!

 

[Jen]

Storms today in central Oklahoma. A little noisy but nothing serious.

 

[teeceetx]

In the middle of yet ANOTHER Severe Thunderstorm Warning!!

Torrential rain, thunder, lightning. Multiple TV weather alerts!

I LOVE the thunder here in Texas! It is sharp, crackles, then a massive BOOM! Like bombs going off overhead!! And it's non-stop, one after another.

 

[Bacpacker]

Rain this morning. .73". It sunny and low 70s now

 

[Pearl]

Another chance of storms this afternoon! Never got rain yesterday, just horrible wind off a storm just to the north of me!! Took down branches from a Cottonwood tree, took down some fence in Buddy's pasture!

 

[teeceetx]

More rain this afternoon.

This is getting old really fast!

 

[montanabill]

Took a break and the predicted storm blew in. 50 mph winds and rain. but going to be 85 later in the week. Time to work in the shop for the afternoon...

Are you new in town? It is unusual for it to rain this much, that’s true; but it’s okay cuz all week the highs will be in the 90s in the DFW metroplex. Last I looked the humidity was higher than the temp.

It's a sauna out there!!

Wow, always amazing how those poles just snap in a microburst. We had 120+ poles go down a couple years ago. They are forecasting 115 for Wed-Thur and high heat across the southwest. I'm servicing our generators today just in case there are regional brown outs.

It's good to have an early heat wave so the Co-op can weed out bad transformers and such before the real heat hits in mid July.

Been here 9 years, but I've never seen so many severe storms this frequent here.

I've been here 35 years, this is a repeat of 2008, the first year Obama started allowing cloud seeding!!

 

[Snowman]

Low 70'sF this AM w/20% wetness, going up to Low 80'sF early evening w/60% wetness...!!!

 

[Pearl]

Mid 90's and humid today, but no rain! Hearing that the town Grimm lives in had storm damage!!

 

[Smalltimefarmer]

rain is back in TN

 

[Unsure]

Haven’t lived in NH too long so don’t know if this dryness is normal. Hoping for the rain that the weather app says should come in a couple days. Mowing the patchy lawn yesterday raised a real dust storm. Probably should focus on regrowing some good grass soon, but the dogs just want to stampede it.

I think y'all who are Dallas and eastward will get a complex of storms out of Oklahoma by morning! A flood watch was already issued, think just to your east!!

Heading home this afternoon.

Pearl I used to love the heat. My wife changed that because she's from up North. Over the years I've gotten used to the cold.

More thunderstorms here.

Supervisor, I wish I were super rich so I could pay powerlines to be put underground instead of up in the air where they get hit with trees and snagged by wind. Would make life so much easier (so long as they were all properly sealed up to keep water out).

Power flickered off very briefly during the storm. It seems to have let up for now but is still cloudy.

I'm not 'Super rich', but some of the people around me are .
The power distribution system has been underground for over 10 years, longer than I have been here.
