We lost power (halfway out to McGregor) for 4.5 hours. Not fun.

I know a house off Speegleville Rd in the Riverside subdivision got hit by lightning and had a major fire.
Power still out on Mountainview Dr. Encor working down the street with multiple trucks. It appears that a pole snapped in the wind. Very strong winds coming off the lake yesterday. Encor says eta for power 10 am. Other end of street large oak fell in street taking out power lines. Tree trimmers working so linemen can get in and repair lines. Remarkable is that we have internet. Limited power for house running off of Ford F150 onboard generator.
No power for almost 12 hours now in McGregor.

Round 4 that came through around 12:45 this morning was quite robust. Had to have been at least 12 lightning strikes within 100 feet of my house. So close each time that my hair stood up. Wild

We had heavy ping pong size hail in Lorena about 10:45. Rogue cell that seemed to intensify basically right over our neighborhood.
Saw video this afternoon of 2.5" to 3" hail right along I-35 through Williamson County...Lot of damage to car dealerships and other property all along and close to 35...Showtime said:

Yeah, Round Rock and Brushy Creek area got absolutely hammered. Seen stories of all western facing windows of houses broken and things of that nature.Bexar Pitts said:Saw video this afternoon of 2.5" to 3" hail right along I-35 through Williamson County...Lot of damage to car dealerships and other property all along and close to 35...Showtime said:

The pictures that we got from property owners yesterday were crazy. That was a nasty hailcore map from Round Rock and Georgetown.
Spots in Lorena and just south of Robinson got ripped pretty well too. Buddy of mine's family farm had the roof torn off the barn, trees uprooted, part of the roof of the house torn off and lost most of their NW facing windows and front storm door.Funky Town Bear said:

One of our property investors has several homes in Georgetown. It looked like they had been shot with AR-15. It was nuts.
They replayed the radar tracking last night on the news. Looks like the epicenter of the storm came down from Bosque County and covered the area between 317 and Lake Waco, then on down through the eastern half of Bell County. That would explain why Speegleville/Woodway/Lorena all got pounded, while in town we mainly just got a steady rain.
