Texas Hail and Tornado 2012

 Dallas had some rainstorms today, but I had no idea tornadoes were in the forecast. I found out by seeing it on Yahoo News when I was checking my email- at exactly the right time, and then Corey called from school to say our suburb was right in the storm's path. Coppell was not hit with a tornado, but there was hail ranging from the size of ping pong balls to baseballs. I'm glad we have a garage and my car was in it! We are truly grateful to be safe from the terrible storm that has caused a good deal of destruction in the area. We will be raking up leaves and branches, but that is about the worst of it for us, thankfully. Our roof was replaced last year after a much milder storm. They need to know to wait til the big ones hit to go to the trouble of replacing roofs. Roof and fence repair has a lot of built-in job insurance here!
