Actually, several tornados.. However this was the closest to me, no damage.. It only stayed on the ground for a few minutes.

Not a great picture, but you can see where its at.

Why isn't your wife in that picture?

We want to see a picture of your wife.

Dang Estes, thats too close. I have seen several fairly close, including one near Vernon that ripped the asphault off the hiway!  It was strange to see a big grain silo laying on it's side near the road with no farm for miles around.
I prefer to watch them on Discovery channel now.












Oh...hot wife!:aok

I grew up in Pampa Tx.. I've had some drop right in the backyard before.

That storm moved off SW, and we got some hellacious hail.

We had tennis ball size for a good five minutes.. Not alot of those though, thank god. Heres a picture of one, (Bad picture I know)

Wow, I heard about that on the radio today.  A hospital got nailed with "baseball sized" hail they said.  Bunch of broken glass, patients injured, etc.  And a car dealership was just plain ****ed :)

Wow, that hail looks like the kind they got in Ft. Worth during Mayfest a couple years ago. Nasty!:eek:

Intertesting Posting/structural fastening on that composite fence system.  Are those eight foot sections with 2-1/2" galvanized steel chain link posts?  Are the brackets on the posts welded in place?  If you are subject to high wind stress loads you may want to consider spacing those posts at four foot centers.  Even if those posts are S-40 astm 120 or 53 at that spacing the maximum wind load those sections would bare is about 75 mph.  If they were through bolted a good wind storm might only cause the fence to lay down.  If not you would have a 48 sqft. frisbee creating lots of havoc.  That fence would never meet the Florida Building Code guidelines which is rapidly becoming the paradigm for other States.  If I lived in your house I would be concerned.
