i was in bedford, a tornado touched down in the city next to us, Hurst. we got pwned with marble to golf ball sized hail. luckily i parked next to a huge monuement sign for the shopping center and it helped shield my car. nissan heavy gauge steel > golf ball sized hail. no wonder our cars weigh so much, rofl. just a few cars down one of my employees civics go pwnt. little divets all over the car.

Both Z's are safe and sound... But the 121 Tornado just missed my business warehouse... Lots of damage on that side of Town.

I got home around 6:00 and washed the car, dried it off and put it in the garage about 10 minutes before the siht hit the fan, then i threw another layer of sealant on it while the weather was bad. I head the tornado siren going off for a little while, nothing but heavy rain at my house though.

Austin is not too safe either. I was there that year when the F5 hit Jerrell. Hail was failing out of the sky all over Austin.

Worked at the old airport (AUS) when that F5 hit Jarrell. One whole side of one of our hangars was blown out and fell on one of our clients 300zx. Up here in my part of Dallas last night, we got quarter sized hail. Luckily we have covered parking and the wife's FX was in the parking garage at her job.
