Tuesday Hails Wichita Falls Wild Windy Thunderstorm


Today's, third day of 2025's June, also known as Tuesday, is being stormy, as was predicted. 

HOT muggy heat was the primary feature from the time the sun arrived, til about 5 this afternoon. At that point in time the sky darkened, wind began to gust, lightning began to bolt and thunder began to roll.

So far, none of the predicted hail.

The view you see photo documented above, is the view looking west from my living room's large window which faces that direction.

The photo documentation does not quite manage to document how strong the wind is blowing. Or how loud it is due to the rain being blown at the window at high speed.

During my regularly pre-noon endorphin acquisition time I opted to avoid the hot humidity and instead do my high-speed walking in air-conditioned Walmart. 

Currently we are scheduled to continue being stormy, off and on, all night long. And into tomorrow.

The tornado warning sirens did their first noon-time Monday testing yesterday for the first time in several weeks. Apparently testing the tornado sirens is not done when we are under a possible tornado warning, as doing such would create a false alarm situation.

During the short course of time typing this short blog post the storm has settled into constant downpouring, not as windy, total cloud cover, not hearing thunder. 

But, hail has now loudly arrived. I will go see if I can get a photo which at all captures what the hail looks like....


Well, above is the current view out my kitchen window. A wall of hail obstructs the view. This is looking south. The hail has now calmed down...
