Pat you are so right!

[No writer, no film maker, no Disney maker-of-extravaganzas could touch it for grandeur. It's near the top in the "most spectacular experiences of my life" category..]

You've just described with great accuracy the thunder and lightning experienced by North Texans (usually) on hot August nights. I remember the "shows" as a young man, with "Sheet lightning" as a prelude, we would sit back and watch the massive thunderheads gather force until all at once in a deafening explosion of thunder the Battle of the Titans would begin bringing the welcome onslaught of cool wind and rain.It was very romantic, almost as if a reward for suffering thru the intense humidity and heat that begins in late June...I still miss Texas, even the "Sheet Rain" and Tornadoes in late April.

A Californian by now,

Schmedley

Thundes Boomers -------Pat we have those (maybe not quite to the extent you described in your post) but close ---about 10 to 20 times per year.Tornado warnings are daily in May ,June and July and I would say it was a rare year that we did not sight 1 or 2.As far as flat ----there is no comparison to Dallas ----in residensal areas we have to dig large drainage areas so the water will have a place to go .This is a great place to raise a family and people tend to stay after they get use to it.
Lets hope the market or a unforseen development does not derail our high hopes for TI stock.
