Cool Lightning in Mansfield

Then, a week later, a thunderstorm rolls in. My wife tapes this while I'm watching American Idol. My wife rules. I put this in as a civilian because my wife taped it.

When all hail breaks loose

This was shot during the hail storm in Mansfield. I wrapped my little Sony camcorder in a baggie, cut a hole for the lense and walked out into the hail. I figured if they can do it on the Weather Channel, then I could, too. It wasn't the smartest thing to do, but it was fun. The fun wore off a few days later when the insurance adjuster declared $9,000 worth of damage to my roof.
