(April 8, 2008)—The storms that swept through Central Texas Tuesday night produced gusty winds, heavy rain, hail and at least one confirmed tornado.

An emergency manager in Coryell County confirmed late Tuesday night that a tornado touched down at 8:23 p.m. about two miles south of Arnett, which is about 10 miles west of Gatesville.

Coryell County Sheriff's deputies were combing the area after getting reports of damage.

There were other reports of possible tornadoes and warnings were issued for Lampasas, Hamilton, Coryell and Bell Counties during the night.

Large hail was reported in Coryell, Hamilton and Lampasas Counties; in some cases the hail was as large as golf balls, according to National Weather Service storm reports.

Severe storms are possible again Wednesday and Wednesday night.

God flooded the earth? lol Maybe god flooded our toilet last week too!! lol! I s'pose you got some 'splaining to do!! Anyway im more apt to believe in climate change/shifting than global warming! Its a shame though because we may lose species whose habitats will eventually no longer support them! Think about last years hurricane season. It was very tame. This season we may be so lucky! Who knows another devastating hurricane could hit new orleans undoing all the rebuilding that has taken place! About using fear to influence people...Al Gore is definitely not the biggest offender!

I have been away from Waco for many years, but I have not forgotten that indeed this is the beginning of our "tornado season" and most likely not much more, if any thing remotely related to global warming. Have so many people in the great communities of Central Texas forgotten the infamous tornado of 1953? I wasn't here (in fact I was only a year old), but I definitely know of it. Now if you really want something juicy to talk about and to ponder... Sharpen your investigative resources and check into the upcoming phenomenon of the reversal of the magnetic poles. If you want a starting place, try searching the archives of National Geographic. Now there is something you can chew the fat for a few days. If you want to do a little local verification, just a knowledgeable instrument rated pilot why aviation charts change magnetic deviation every so often for the same area. They may not know the answer, but they do know the deviations do change.
