Shocked I just checked the weather and forecast and in big bold red letters up at the top it says:

TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON

Hadn't given any thought to tornado weather, woke up to a nice lil drizzlin rain tho. But it is that time of year for us. Thank goodness I no longer live in west texas where it's a daily occurance to be under a tornado watch or warning.

Yes spring time in TX weather can get violent in a hurry,talked to a neighbor of mine in south TX this morning and he said lightning struck a tree that some cattle were under and killed three of em last nite,be careful when you hear thunder be looking for cover,like inside a building not under a tree.............good luck

PS gotta 1/2 inch rain last nite.
