We had the dry line drift passed us today and sure enough a huge storm followed on as expected. We got violent straight line winds followed by a powerful rain storm. Rain was blowing level with my vision across the yard. I saw water running down the window in the laundry room, never saw that before. I looked up and the gutters were overflowing.
Switched to local TV and they were saying there were embedded tornadoes in the storm. Doppler radar had detected rotating clouds, a sure sign of tornadoes forming or already formed. Of course funnel clouds are not tornadoes until they touch down. Thank God, none of them touched down around us.
We watched the storm track move across DFW and on to Flower Mound. I am sure later tonight we will learn of evidence of tornado activity some where along the track.
It is clear now, gentle breeze and light shower. Just a few rain drops here and there. Big difference from the early storm. I turned off the sprinklers, we do not need any irrigation tonight, we got washed to day.
The storm even shut down TV reception. The TV just held the last picture for about ten minutes. That indicates very thick clouds to interrupt the signal. Usually happens when it snows, or as in this case, a big raging thunder storm.
It has passed and I think we are finished with it for the day. Tomorrow will be sunny and clear. The storm will have washed out all the crap in the air.
