whats a 16 wheeler? 

An 18 wheeler that was parked in Oakland overnight?

[Dichotomy]

Trashed one street over including the nursing home.  Hits all around me but no damage more than a bunch of roofing material in my yard.  Power was out till 6 this morning. 

The dogs were pretty shook up when I got home but that's the worst of it

You live in Coppell?

Most of the cars at the Townlake of Coppell apartments got bombed by hand-grenade sized hail. Two out of three of our cars. One was, luckily, at Plano and missed it.

Yep.

We dodged it.  It got dark as night for a while and marble size hail, but no real damage where I live.

so how do they steer with only 16 wheels?   

They are 18 wheelers... 4 axels of 4 wheels plus the front axel of two wheels... Soon they will only be 10 wheelers as a lot of companies are switching from the double tires to one large tire.
