Default Storms tonight

Great storms here tonight in North Central Texas. I am a Ham Radio spotter for a local TV Station. Used my Hummer, not the Aero. Let me tell you, H3s are very loud while being pounded by large hail. No tornados touched down, but a few came close. jh

It sounded like loose marbles in a dryer, but no damage. I closed the moonroof slider in case the glass shattered, but no damage.

I had the Army H3 last spring during a big hail storm here and the whole top of it is "dimpled" now. You're right, it sounds like it's going to come through the roof.

I should have the top sprayed with black Rhino Liner. Finish making it look like a penguin.

Wichita Falls. KD5LMX. We had quite a few news weather types looking. April 10, 1979 we had our town flattened by tornados. Folks here who remember that Tuesday get nervous this time of year.

I remember that. Whole areas were nothing but 5" deep rubble. Amazing devastation.
