KXII-TV's Dara Downs spent the day in Joy. She'll have a full report tonight on First News at Five and Six. In the meantime, here's a recap from Steve LaNore's weather blog:

UPDATE: 19 May 2010 / 11:30p.m.

A damaging tornadic Supercell tracked about 80 miles from Duncan in Stephens County to Stonewall in eastern Pontotoc County Wednesday night. Our own Doug Drace reported golfball hail from the storm in western Garvin County before the tornado formed..and saw it on the ground during a lightning flash at about 9p.. near Joy, OK.

Considerable damage was reported from the twister in Joy (Murray County).

The were also widespread reports of heavy rainfall, intense lightning, and hail to golfball size with this storm.

Meanwhile, other portions of Texoma received not so much as a drop of rain.

Such is the nature of severe storm formation and forecasting. For me, I'm glad it wasn't any worse...it easily could have been.

Take Care,
