Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Fierce Weather In Texas The Hardest I've Seen
Posted 05-28-2024 at 06:45 PM by case44
Make no mistake about it. I've lived here in Dallas my entire life, and this spring's storm season has got to be the most brutal that I've ever seen.
If you've watched those cable weather networks, then chances are, you'll see exactly what I mean. When I went to work early this morning, what would transpire would be some of the wildest conditions I've seen since a tornado came within a few blocks of blowing away my office some twelve years ago. Wind gusts ranging from 70 to 95 miles per hour were taking place in the northern suburbs and at the International Airport and even some points south. My workplace's parking lot, in the aftermath, looked like an obstacle course in some places, what with shattered and split trees and the high wind gusts scattering limbs and branches all over the place. My car survived all of this.
It's not just Dallas and Fort Worth, but in recent days, Houston, Temple, and other communities in Central and East Texas were hit hard with tornado activity. As I write this post, Lubbock is experiencing a big storm in the west-central part of the city, moving southward. I feel a bit bad for all those who just bought houses in the southern areas, but that's where we are with the severe weather now. More rain and storms are forecast in all the big places and some parts in between. D/FW will not be an exception.
Guards are staying up tonight and through the week. Next week should see a little.............................well, ..............peace.
We can only hope.

Looks like Levelland, 30 miles W of Lubbock, got hit the hardest in that area last night. Someone posted pictures of property damage, downed tree limbs, etc. on a premium site today. There was also a report of DVD-sized hail there (new category).
