Thanks for the concern Lady! Knock on wood, where I live, NE of Dallas is usually pretty quiet. We miss a lot of rain but we usually also miss the big hail and wind storms.
Texas likes a big block buster every once in awhile. Years ago a twister hit the Great Plains Life building in Lubbock; single sky scraper in town. It was a 30ish story building but was rectangular; like a city block long but 1/4 block wide. The twister "twisted" the steel and brick building like you'd twist a piece of candy. Last I knew was still unoccupied.
Dallas gets one every once in awhile but does little damage.
Waco which is SW of dallas had a bad one back in '56 as I recall. Went through down town and tore up some things.
West/West Central TX. gets most of them. Granbury is on the east end of that rocky, desolate (but beautiful to the beholder), barren except for a few Mesquite trees (great B-BQ wood) land, and they get whacked occasionally.

The WF said we got between 1 and 2" which should get it on it's way. I'm thrilled as had this one not come I was looking at having to re-plant.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
