We got video up online of the massive hail storm that hit the Texas Panhandle.

Reports are coming in that it was over a foot deep in spots. The video shows some massive hail and traffic stuck in the hail.

I'll try to post some stills from the video in the reports thread for today (do we have one yet?) here in a little while. I will tell you, being out there under that stuff in Gaines County, I am not biting on any tornado reports unless I see a pic or video of it. If there was a time when I thought it might, it was about the time it was taking that massive hail dump in the western part of Gaines County. Otherwise, structure lacked severely, storms were high based, and I know of at least twice I was very near a spotter that reported ragged non-rotating scud as funnels. :shock: Anyway, I will save all that for the reports thread.
