Are you sure about that?
We don't du things in half-measures, pilgrim.
Hays county into Caldwell county reporting 4-5” hail.

I have no idea where either "San Marcus/Marcos" nor "Hayes County" is.
May I ask for the State? (I suspect Texas?)

Texas, about 45 minutes south of me. I’m going to have to stay alert this evening.
Straight down I35 from Austin.

When a hailstone is the weight of a talent...
Not a drop in my AO, but silent lightning all over the place. Current temp is 80° and muggy as hell. Soupy atmosphere. Not good.
Looks like my AO is going to catch the tail end of a cell. Shouldn’t be too bad.

Mark that down as one place not to put solar collectors.

NE of San Antonio a few miles.
Nothing happened ~80mi NW of San Antonio. (How's that for non-news? LOL)
About midnight, it calmed down here too and just went away.

Is this years weather anything outside of historical norms?
The hail has been bigger, but outside of that, it’s been a pretty mild spring.

Here’s another. Tamara told me about this.
Solar farm pelted by giant hail as severe storm ripped through Nebraska
The 4.375 MWac solar farm was damaged June 23 by the same storm cell that tore through a Wyoming coal mine, leaving eight people injured.

Gosh, I just found this thread. We were without power for the better part of 4 days starting on Thursday. We didn't get this part of the storm, we got the huge blob that hit and came down from Killeen. We missed the giant hail, but got upwards of 5" of rain and wind gusts that took down many, many trees and power poles/lines. Not far from us the NWS is investigating to determine if the winds were tornadic or straight line; significant damage out that way.
I think we've had over 20" of rain in the last few weeks. Haven't gotten the garden in yet, and at this point with our summer heat it may be too late. I'm just thankful that our house is on higher ground.

And, we're forecasted for heavy rains tomorrow into the early morning hours of Friday. Possibly severe weather, but the greatest concern is more rainfall in areas that are already saturated. Hoping for just the 2.5" expected, and not the 4-6" plus that is feared. I just finished restacking our freezer with more frozen water bottles in case we lose power again.
We're all having rainfalls and flooding not seen since Hurricane Harvey. This is really very odd weather here.

Summer arrives on Tuesday, when temps hit the mid 90’s and stay there. They’ll remain at that point or worse until mid-October.
