Thanks for that Jaxonalden & vw.
Nobody knows more about this stuff than OKC.
What we had pales in comparison to the devastation that Alabama had last year. All of those lives can't be replaced, but our houses certainly can.

Thankfully there was no damage in my area.

Was damage in my city- surprising I was unaware there were tornadoes around until I went outside! The classroom I am in has no windows!

I got some pic's from a friend in Coppell - softball-sized hail! No one injured but lots of property damage. I'll post some pic's tonight.

I was one the lucky, I was right in the path of a potential tornado but the cell broke up right before it got to my house and the tornado never materialized. A lot of others were not so fortunate.

A friend just bought a new Audi A7 over the weekend, he had to travel for work and went to the airport 2 days after he bought the car and decided to park it on the parking garage roof because he didn't want to get any door dings. Good news, no door dings, bad news his A7 now looks like the cars pictured above

Thanks thstone!

I bet there's a glass quality story to be told if you compared windshields and back windows broken (or pierced!) by make.

I think those pics may have been taken here. It's about a mile from my house and we only had a few golf ball sized hail.

Up north from me. Looked like some hellacious weather throwing semi's around like toys. Glad no one was hurt!
