The Weather is Insane - 02-10-2009, 07:20 PM


We dont have a tornado watch, but the wind is blowing so freaking weird. I finally got my Christmas tree down and outside last week. It blew away. Texas weather is so insane. I think a pumpkin just blew off my porch. At least I took down my Christmas lights. OK, I need to see whats banging against the door...

It was my roof, not a pumpkin. Total suck. :o(

I hadn't looked out till you mentioned it. The sky is grey and there's a lot of wind. The KTXS web site says we're under a tornado watch till 8:00 pm.

I'm here at the office and the cleaning lady just came in and said she didn't expect anyone to be here late tonight since the storm is coming... um, what?!? I need to watch the news. Anyhow - I'm sure it's not what you guys have going on over there. I hope it's just a few shingles and not anything major... stay safe.

No, dont be silly. Those caught fire on New Years. I dont like throwing out live decorations. Its not my fault the pumpkins and the tree wouldnt die. And Im usually so good at killing plants. I have a black thumb.

It's not going to last. Looks like we're in for some serious stuff. I hope it breaks up while it's out west.

The wind is absolutely insane. I have patio furniture all over the back of the property. My patio table is about 250 lbs and it moved it off of the deck! Make sure loose stuff is tied down (or put up).

We're starting to hear thunder here now, and I just got a call from a friend in NW San Antonio who was telling me about the hail. Holly, I hope the rest of your roof stays put.

T&L with downpour in NE San Antonio started at 920pm


I just looked at the radar....HUGE line squall covers one half of SA south-north and extends all the way up to AUSTIN and beyond

Wow! Just took a closer look...this thing extends all the way up 35 past DALLAS and into OK!
