I swear I'm going to add a new topic for weather as most of my posts lately seem to revolve around this crazy Texas Spring Weather!
If you were anywhere in Tarrant, Denton or Collin Counties around 3-4 a.m. - then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Geez, I'm so tired I can't type!
About 3:20 there was a BOOM so loud it shook the house followed by a big flash of lightning & what sounded like a ton of rocks pummeling the house. Needless to say, husband & I shot straight out of bed like we'd been poked with a red hot branding iron! Grandson was sitting straight up in bed asking what that was. In my still half asleep, adrenaline surged awakeness (that really does NOT make sense!) I staggered (more like looked like a drunk trying to walk a straight line!) out to the living room to turn on the weather report & peek outside. Quarter size hail was ALL over the yard - I have a picture - will post later. Rain was coming down in sheets. Our wonderful weather guy on the local CBS affiliate - Pete - was explaining that the lightning strikes were right over my town - no DUH! Ya think! Winds were up to 70 mph+ Husband went back to bed, grandson went back to bed & I watched for another 10 minutes until the storm had subsided & was moving north east of us.
So I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open but the adrenaline that shot me out of bed is making it hard for me to actually get back to sleep. What a predicament. So finally I get all comfy again & go back to sleep. Next thing I know husband is telling me it's time to get up. I didn't shoot straight out of bed again, but it sure seemed like it.
There's only one problem when I get woke up like that. Somehow it makes me feel really ucky. Nauseous type yucky. Hopefully this will pass & be better before too long.
So did you sleep through the storm? Any damage to your home, cars, plants, dogs, cats, etc?
