Massive Spiked Hail Pounds Texas Panhandle

The weather in Texas is getting scarier by the minute. While we have had tornadoes this year, widespread damage from large hail has probably been the biggest story so far. 

We were hammered with golf ball-sized hail here in Wichita Falls just a few weeks ago. It was a really strange sight the next morning as it had gotten cold enough that the hail didn’t melt for several hours. It almost looked like it had snowed.

However, as bad as it was here in North Texas, the Panhandle has had it even worse. Just yesterday, several tornadoes were spotted there as storms rolled through the area. But the monstrous, spiked hail that pounded the Silverton was probably the craziest outcome of the storms. 

Unfortunately, the forecast is just as bad for today. 

Hopefully, everything will be okay. But if you’re in the area, you need to be prepared to take shelter. Keep a close eye on local media for updates.

5 Myths About Tornadoes You Shouldn't Believe

Sioux Falls, South Dakota may not be smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley, but we still get our share of severe thunderstorms. Thunder, rain, lighting, and tornadoes are all possible.

The thing about tornadoes is that they are very destructive and very rare. Most people probably won’t even see an actual twister in their life. But if they do, it can mean devastation.

We don’t need to be at battle stations all spring and summer and freak out every time it gets cloudy.

We do need to think, prep, and pay attention.
