We visited the Hollis\r\n\"Bridge of Doom\" on our drive from Shamrock to Quanah, TX.  The guests enjoyed\r\nthe solitude and scenery as they walked above the Red River.  As we grouped\r\ntogether for some photos on the TX side of the bridge, a very large swarm of\r\nbees came right at us from the southeast!  The twenty of us ducked down a little\r\nand the bees continued on, fortunately.  Those were a scary 30 seconds!  A storm\r\ninitiated in some hot and somewhat humid air at Weatherford, and dropped some\r\nlarge hail near the town.  We got on the back edge of the storm and then came\r\naround on the south side on I-20.  This storm was high-based, with long hail\r\nshafts visible in the sunshine.  The storm chased us slowly into the western\r\nfringes of the DFW Metroplex.  We weren't interested in dealing with rush-hour\r\ntraffic there, so we rode out the storm's precip core beneath a convenience\r\nstore cover.  Hail size was nearly one inch in diameter.  Another batch of\r\nthunderstorms was out west, so we enjoyed a nighttime lightning display before\r\ngetting to our rooms in Abilene.<\/pre>\n<p><a title=\"090526_hollis_ok_7672\" rel=\"lightbox[pics2446]\" href=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_hollis_ok_7672.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-2447 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_hollis_ok_7672.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"090526_hollis_ok_7672\" width=\"223\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><a title=\"090526_hollis_ok_7673\" rel=\"lightbox[pics2446]\" href=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_hollis_ok_7673.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-2448 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_hollis_ok_7673.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"090526_hollis_ok_7673\" width=\"178\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><a title=\"090526_weatherford_tx_7675\" rel=\"lightbox[pics2446]\" href=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_weatherford_tx_7675.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment wp-att-2449 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/stormbruiser.com\/chase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/090526_weatherford_tx_7675.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"090526_weatherford_tx_7675\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The outlook for May 26th appeared even slightly better, with high CAPE forecast along a boundary between Wichita Falls and Fort Worth.
