Well, the San Antonio Force Field had to break at some point!

Wow. What a storm that moved through SA metro. Hail and high wind along with several inches of rain. Just to give you an idea this was taken in the Alamo Ranch area (far western SA/ Bexar County) where I live by a local media employee.

It is strange. I've been getting quick bursts of heavy rain for a couple hours now. Wife says dime size hail at her sister's house in Irving, near Story and Finley roads. Pouring rain as I type. Oh boy here comes the hail here. It is getting loud!!!!

News saying we could stay in the 40s a day or two next week if the rain is widespread enough our coldest high this month has been 62

[Ntxw]

I've had about four bouts of rain, though only a little over an inch and twice was hail, largest recently up to marble.
