You are a tornado magnet!
Wasn't Aurora hit by the same tornado that hit Pierce City last May? As soon as I saw the warning flashbacks of that immediately came rushing back.

Yes... the north side of Aurora was hit last year. No confirmed touchdowns that I have heard of yet. Lots of flooding. We also got some nearly ping pong ball sized hail. I will have to check the car in the morning.

The largest hail I've ever seen was like marble sized many years ago from an afternoon storm. LOL Came close a few times, but haven't seen it at my house since.
I'd like to see some, but not ping pong ball sized!

It didn't bounce like ping pong balls though.
I was disappointed.
