Re: Texas Summer 2019
It looked like a bomb went off in Dallas yesterday. At Mockingbird and Skillman, we had probably 25 limbs down, including the neighbors pecan tree on our fence (which also snapped the power lines and in still entangled). I went up to the neighborhood where we are moving at Royal and Abrams, and it is much worse there. Massive trees snapped in half (~2') covering all east/west streets in this neighborhood. Every one I tried was impassible. Multiple house lost all north facing windows.
We have been told 8p tonight for power, but I think that is very optimistic. Searching for gas yesterday, along with everyone else after the storm in the affected areas, was a battle. A lot of vary impatient people losing their cool. It was a scene.

Re: Texas Summer 2019
In the 10+ years I've lived in North Dallas, this is easily the most damage I've seen in my area.

I think the record rainy period since last Fall (6-10 month period) really set up this event especially with the foliage. Can you remember going into a June with such extensive green foliage? This kind of tree damage occurs in the heavily wooded areas of the northeast and east coast when wind storms like what occured passes by. In North Texas it is usually not this kind of widespread, despite 40-70mph wind storms not that unusual.

Re: Texas Summer 2019
Good point. One of our trees which is basically just the trunk now, was fruiting pretty heavily.

Re: Texas Summer 2019
Sounds more like 85 mph winds than 70.
We had a roll cloud come through my neighborhood as a kid and brought wind gusts over 80. It was stunning to see.
Side note: driving up there still were bluebonnets going strong. I think they usually wilt by now.

Is it possible we got hit with a microburst, or was it just straight-line winds? The storm seemed to pass through Plano with minimal damage, but everything south of Arapaho got walloped.

Or combination of both maybe. The outflow was really starting to be defined once it hit the northern counties and peaked ahead in Dallas county. Also didn't help the area effected is some of the most densely populated.

Weather geek and a storm spotter in West Austin. Not a degreed meteorologist. Big snow fan. Love rain and cold! Despise heat!
Re: Texas Summer 2019
Monday, June 10, 2019 and the air conditioner has not clicked on once on this normally hot summer day. Clouds are scarce, humidity hardly felt. Winds from the north make the day feel pleasant, like a late September evening. Barely a bead of perspiration has formed on the normally sweaty skin on this anomalous cool afternoon. Most Texans would consider all this a bunch of impossible and fictional nonsense but it is the truth I tell you!!!!! What a beautiful day in North Texas. Enjoy today and tomorrow folks, I know I will.

Just found out this was from 2017. Tried to delete it. Got tagged in a FB post about it with DFWs storms Sunday. Ah well.

Yeah in the radar loop the structure definitely changes as it approaches Love Field theres like a split and a weaker portion goes towards DFW airport and the segment moving into downtown really looks more intense
Oh and this weather is amazing. It didn't even feel warm just now like it usually does

Euro shows another trough swinging through next week. More chances for rain and cooler temperatures after the weekend.

I had to wear a light jacket in Midland yesterday. Didn't get out of the 60's. I was actually cold on my way to work!

I didn’t notice that much of a difference this morning where I am. It was about 73 at 7am in Wharton..2 hours south of you.
