Heads up, TX Briefers!

A powerful thunderstorm unloaded hail as large as 3 inches in diameter north of San Antonio on Saturday morning. Slightly larger than a baseball, hail of this size can cause significant damage and endanger people and animals without shelter.
Large hail of similar sizes also pounded areas north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Just got an alert from the Weather Channel that a tornado hit a Texas town with fatalities.
Prayers up for all Texans here

Yeah, I'm between College Station and Dallas. It was exciting for a while, but the sun is out now. The electric company promises our power will be on in 5 or 6 hours.

@Freya, is that the one in College Station?
Oh, it see, it was Franklin: https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Significant-damage-in-Franklin-after-tornado-slams-town-injuries-reported-508539291.html (https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Significant-damage-in-Franklin-after-tornado-slams-town-injuries-reported-508539291.html)
Luckily, no fatalities.

Stupid weather channel alert said fatalities.
They also said the weather would hit a high of 76 here today. The high was 74
