I didn't notice much damage in North Las Colinas. Golfball-sized hail, leaves on the lawns and streets. The swirling rains and winds were incredible.

Unfortunately, I was driving on 114 near DFW and was caught by the hail. Dings all over the hood and roof of my 2010.

After seeing what happened in Oklahoma and Joplin, I'm fortunate that's all I can report.

We heard the sirens go off once in Castle Hills. We got torrential downpours for a bit but it wasn't even really windy.

Pretty windy/rainy north of Addison, but no hail or anything. Girlfriend said there was hail at Marsh and NWHWY where she works but I'm not sure the severity.

Lots of rain, lots of wind, some hail, lots of sirens in Richardson. Didn't see any significant or notable property damage this morning, just some downed branches.

LOTS of golf ball-sized hail in my neighborhood in Grapevine (I have someone coming to inspect our roof) and 1.5 inches of rain.

One of my neighbor's Bradford Pear trees split in half and one of the halves landed on the boat which was parked in their driveway. I also saw some trees uprooted in Bedford on my way to work.

We were evidently right underneath the rotation by White Rock Lake. I heard some loud pops from the hail, but I didn't see any land. We lost power for about 5 seconds and the rest of the night was fine. The sirens definitely got some use last night. Thankfully nobody was hurt and I didn't even see any limbs that had fallen this morning.

Glad to hear everyone is OK otherwise!

We just had some very small hail, and of course lots of rain and wind. Didn't see any damage in my neighborhood or loss of power.

You must be near us. We could hear the hail, but didn't see any. Amazing lightning - red and blue. The clouds in the sky looked like melted marshmallows - apparently called Mammatus clouds and an indicator of severe storms.

Drive this morning was annoying - light out at Garland Rd and Winsted at the spillway. Traffic was terribly backed up on Garland Rd. Trees down on the streets Santa Fe and Forest Hills Blvd made detours necessary.

No hail but massive rain showers and pretty strong wind in my part of Plano, it was fun walking around outside, got soaked in less than 5 minutes.
