Had to shut down earlier due to a savage line of thunderboomers coming through. Right now there's a lull so I came online to the weather radar. It doesn't look good. There's a whole bunch of severe weather moving my way from Beaumont and it looks to be strung out at least forty miles. At the rate it's moving I'll be ducking it in just a little while. The weather alert I'm seeing is posted below. Looks like it's gonna get real here.
