A Hailstorm the size of Texas

The picture says it all, but you would not believe the front the blew through Texas this evening.  It rained hail across the state like most people, even in Texas, have never seen before. When was the last time you saw a front stretch from the Red

Just when I thought winter was history...

If you don't like the weather in Texas, wait a few hours.  Just when I thought spring was here for good, Old Man Winter decides to blow one last time before we retire him until next November.  I've seen it snow here in Dallas as late as 3/15

I Dodged Tornados Tonight

I'm in the beautiful US state of Tennessee. I started this week on Monday in Knoxville which is the far eastern portion of the state. After I completed my Angelbeat event there, I headed to Nashville. I must admit I enjoyed the drive. This state has a

So it wasn't cell phone use - Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)
