Yesterday around 7:10pm Abby and I were sitting on the window sill bench in our master bedroom watching a thunderstorm come thru. This picture I took of our HDTV is of local WFAA-DT Channel 8.3 was just after the storm hit. Our house is located practically right in the middle of the "O" in the name "Bedford". You can see the gust front on the radar. It's the green line that runs from Keller to Midlothian. (BTW, clicking on any of these pictures will get ya a larger version.

Abby's been a bit afraid of thunder but slowly I'm getting her use to it so she's not so scared of storms. The rain started falling and within 30 seconds I saw a large gray cloud appear to the northeast over my neighbor's house. It swooped down VERY quickly towards us bringing a large amount of rain and wind. Then at that moment a large branch from the tree right outside fell in front of the window. I grabbed Abby and pulled her back from the window. She was saying over and over "OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!!".
The storm was short lived. We soon went outside to survey the damage. The window with the blind pulled up is where we were sitting.
Luckily, we were OK and the branch didn't break anything on the patio either.
Here you can see the place it broke off from. Another branch is still hanging from the tree.
At 10am this morning, my father-in-law and his co-worker Jose Manual arrived to cut down the broken branch and cut up all the other pieces.
He also cut down a dead tree we had across the cul-de-sac from us.
I guess it's just less leaves I'll have to worry about this fall.
