Our family was driving back to Dallas from Gilmer on Tuesday evening, and as we were going through Hawkins and Mineola on Highway 80, we experienced strong winds from the north (an outflow?), and could see storms to the north. We came across two downed trees on 80 east of Mineola, including one that completely blocked both westbound lanes, and there was also plenty of dust and debris blowing across the highway. We kept going, and managed to drive out of it by the time we got to Grand Saline.<br /><br />I read the story on the Longview News-Journal's Web site about "more storms" last night, but I went there looking for information about Tuesday night's weather.<br /><br />We experienced a pretty good microburst at our house in Wylie on May 24th, one that blew down the fence in our backyard.Steve in Wylienoreply@blogger.com
