Holy damn.

Just got back from Hoover Al. We had 2 yesterday within about 5 miles from us. Sirens went off and we barely had time to take shelter.


Scary stuff.

I live in Rockwall also. It's pretty chaotic in Rowlett still. Both bridges across the lake shut down for westbound traffic.

The fatalities in Garland are from cars that were tossed off an overpass. For anyone that's driven I-30 through there before, that happened just west of the Bass Pro on the west side of the lake.

Rowlett is a mess though.

Yea. That's pretty much ground zero I think. Lake Pointe hospital there is damaged also, or so I've been told.

Garland has the most fatalities, but that was on I-30. And Garland is pretty damn big, so it's likely. Rowlett is the worst I've seen, buts it's basically surrounded by Garland, so I'm sure Garland is bad also.

We had a small EF-0 tornado touch down in WV a few days ago. I couldnt imagine seeing or being in the path of one of the behemoths like the ones in TX tonight. Scary stuff.

Just got home from work. Weather was gnarly tonight. Haven't even gone through this thread yet,.. but happy where I'm at we have 2 floors underground avail just in case. Saddest were the ones blown off the road... They had zero chance.

just had what sounded like a lighting strike connect with the ground in my neighborhood. everything is dark as far as I can see, probably over 1000 people without power just in this little area


and the temperature is plummeting. FML
