....passed within a few miles of us. We could see the lightning in the distance but didn't get any rain, hail or damaging wind. It was a highly volatile tornadic system (tornadic rotation in at least 3 places, a few eyewitness sightings of funnels but no confirmation of touchdowns). Outside our house it felt very humid (a sign of a tornadic thunderstorm) and the wind was blowing in several directions at once.
Those weren't exaggerations about the baseball-sized hail or 100 mph winds. It was a tense night.
Storms have battered parts of Texas - with winds of up to 100 miles per hour and hail the size of baseballs damaging homes across the state.
The worst of the storm hit Gainesville, just south of the Oklahoma border, breaking windows and ripping roofs off houses.
No serious injuries were reported, but two horses were killed when what appeared to be a tornado swept through a ranch.
At the Gainesville Municipal Airport, hangars were damaged and private planes that were outside were slammed into each other by the high winds.
