I’m good, but my sister was in a tornado where she lives. It missed her house but destroyed some a mile away. We’re getting lots of rain, some areas are flooding.
Flooded here Saturday. Rain was running down my street like it was a river. Rain hasn’t stopped since the beginning of September last year. Get a few days of a break, then bam, more rain. 2018 was the 2nd wettest year on record for our area. It’s insane. More tomorrow morning.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

It was super windy yesterday in mid Texas...we had the monsoon on Saturday, glad I didn’t go to USPSA....it was so hard that you couldn’t see ten yards.

Just a lot of wind late last night here in deep East Texas. Per my wife, I slept through it. We had our bout with 90+ mph straight line winds and the considerable, severe damage that went along with it, back on 5/8.

Wet here. East of Dallas. I’m going to have to try to teach the cows how to swim. Some structure surrounding us has been knocked over due to high winds.
Had some rain and wind. Some parts of Dallas had very heavy rain and I think some hail. There was a tornado 150 miles SE of Dallas, with some destruction and injuries (no deaths, I think).
NE Dallas county, Garland, hardly got anything. Yes, it was breezy, but this is Texas and it wasn’t that bad. Rain came through this morning about 8:30-ish and rained moderately for about 10-15 minutes and we’re done. All things considered, it was just anti-climatical.

Last night the Turnader was right by my house. This morning I drove straight to within about a mile of the one in Tulsa. Everyone was in the locker room, sirens blaring.

While I'm complaining about the heavy snow in my "never ending winter" thread, folks in the south are faring far worse with tornadoes, torrential rain, and flooding. Stay safe!

It is a gorgeous day right now, warm and blue skies. Having a cigar and a drink in my backyard by the pool

Wow. Northeastern OK is getting hammered with tornadoes. And up into Missouri. Stay safe up there. Bad flooding to add to the fun.
My nephew sent me a video of a big one looking out his front window. It was about 1/2 mile between his house and his mom who lives about the same distance on the backside of it. This is his fourth visual, but going to school at OU several years back put him right in the alley.
