Austin's storm

I heard about a big hail storm in Austin last night, everyone alright?

I hope no people or nice cars were damaged.

Edit: Just read about the power outages, so I guess no internets:

"Early estimates of the overall cost of damages are projected to be around $125 million."

"There are approximately 19,900 customers without power at this hour with repairs needed at an estimated 400 locations."

Well I live around north 183 where the the tornado was estimated to touch down, but I guess we got lucky and missed it. Nothing happened in my area except for some heavy rain. Gave me quite a scare tho.

i was out there getting some dinner for the fam when it started to get bad. I got home and about 5 mins later it started to rain. I stay down the street from lakeline mall where supposedly there was funnel clouds hanging out. The change in wind direction freaked us all out everytime we looked outside our balcony window. No damage to my Max BTW, thats the good news.

My max was nice and safe in the garage that night even though there wasnt any hail at my place but I think Round Rock got the worst of it
