Remember that hail from not so long ago (

Well, not the same size, but the storms were back!
** None of these are mine - I was not close to anything but wind, rain and small hail (with the obvious thunder and lightening **
At last count there were two tornado touch downs in Austin, at least one in Leander. About 18,000 to 20,000 cloud-to-ground strikes over the course of 45 minutes and more than 15,000 without power. I was not on the road, my power did not go out, I saw no funnels. The lightening was incredible though and the thunder shook the walls. I understand some people were devastated, but I say bring it on. I love storms.
