Justin B. Any Storm Damage In Your Area ?
« on: April 24, 2008, 12:19:24 PM »
Saw in Yahoo news, that Crowley,TX. got the most serious damage out of storms yesterday, with possibly a  tornado touching down, and baseball sized hail.   :o

So how did you fare Justin?

Got a little rain and a lot of lightning.  I saw that on the news this morning - roofs gone, etc - must be some part of town I'm not familiar with!  :P

I'm about the same distance north of Fort Worth as Crowley is south...

This is what the recent hail did to the seven-year-old vinyl top on my 1986 Cabriolet. No damage to glass or sheet metal or my outdoor F150. My brides Cadillac DTS and the R65 live indoors.

New top on order but I'll wait until school's out to install it. The duct tape patches cover the holes, cracks and splits. Kinda "ghetto" looking, wouldn't y'all agree?
