That's a mighty strong wind gust! Still not much in the way of rainfall around here today but it looks like alot of the storms in SE Texas could make it over here this evening.

Stay safe. :eek: A micro burst is what took down that Delta L-1011 at fort worth back in the 80's. It was landing..took out a few cars on the highway and some tanks on the runway. It was a miracle that some passengers walked away with out a scratch http://www.airdisaster.com/special/special-dl191.shtml
