What's remarkable about this bonfire on Skins's island, started by Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus, is that no primitive's blamed it on George Bush yet, but I'm sure it'll happen.

Extreme weather in Texas today

I left the house today with warm skies and sun and drove 2 hours west.

Did some shopping and some other things.

Coming home...ran into a massive hail storm...that turned into a massive rain storm....that turned into some pretty cool weather.

To top it off, when I got home, the electricity had been off since 2 pm from this storm.

Now, as of 11:30 pm it is just NOW coming back on.

3. Stay safe.

My daughter said she'd had some wild weather earlier in the day too.

4. that's probably the storm expected here tomorrow by nightfall in NC. Predictions are for ugly weather during the evening.

it usually rains on my days off. I guess i should prepare for it.

How the hell would she know when the power went off?  Of course, if my power had been out for 9 hours, the first thing I would do when it came back on would be to run to DU and post some BS.

It's Texas, we always have had strange weather.

i grew up in Texas, spent summers in Kansas and my mother's favorite brother lived in Oklahoma - we got to see it all...


i think the funniest storm though (if you can call it funny) was about 12 years ago there was such a huge hail storm that the car dealerships around Garland had a Dent Sale 

why the weather is so odd to them if they are over the age of 8 is confounding to me... although my 8 year old seems to get it ..

Her neighbors told her when it went out?  Or am I being silly for not seeing conspiracies in every single thing they post?

If she had an electric analog clock it would show the time that the power stopped unless it had a battery backup.
