Wow. I had started to respond to this post Wednesday night to ask for a reminder as to what part of Texas you are in. It seems misery loves company. As I was starting my reply, the sky got really dark and the wind started to roar. The rain and hail started slamming the window next to me. Hearing what sounded like the window getting ready to blow in and then some big thuds seemingly from the roof above me, I pulled the plug from my laptop and took it and myself to the center of the house. Shortly after that, we lost power. When we could see what happened in the daylight, we found no noticeable damage to the house but huge chunks of 5 of our big trees covering the backyard. They had fortunately blown away from the house. It turns out a couple tornadoes had blown through a couple miles north of us and we had had 80 mph straight line winds. Chain saws have been buzzing all around for the past two days and we finally got power back about an hour ago. I was going nuts without electricity, especially when Thursday night rolled around and I realized I was going to miss the Molten Core raid. :(
