We are just coming out of several days of severe weather with us getting it the last two nights and most notably last night/this morning. This morning about 3:30 the storms starting getting close and then the power went out so we couldn't see their progress, before we knew it the sky was a constant lightning flash and the sirens were sounding. We rounded up the boys and the cats and took refuge in the bathroom, but fortunatley it quickly passed. We lost power for over two hours I think.
This morning I could hear the neighbors outside and sure enough a piece of our fence had blown over. I got that re-erected and shored up a post that had broken as well. I went for a little drive to see what kind of damage was locally as there was lots of damage all over the metroplex on the news.
It turns out we were quite lucky. A couple of broken tree limbs in the immediate neighborhood and very few to no shingles lost. On my drive however within a mile of the house was a strip that was hit very hard. Route 720, between SH-75 and Hardin. About 8-10 power poles were down, several snapped in half. Also several houses on the north side of 720 were almost stipped bare off shingles and tarpaper with several fence sections down.
