Way up out of harm's way but I've got a lot of friends down there.. Hope y'all are doing all right sticking this one out.
Yeah.. It's getting pretty bad. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/04/03/tornadoes-reported-near-dallas-fort-worth-area/
Not jealous of the hail or circular winds, but I sure would like some of that rain down here in Austin. Stay safe!
I'm in far north Plano right a Custer and 121 and our sirens have gone off 5 or 6 times but so far nothing but heavy rain and some small hail. My mom was supposed to be flying in from Joplin this afternoon but her flight was cancelled. Earlier channel 8 was showing the tornado on the ground on the south side of Dallas as it hit what looked to be a trucking company lot. It was picking trailers up what looked to be 100 feet or so in the air and throwing them them around like toys.
Grits, The Hardluck Car Club is reporting in to HAMB command central... We are all OK. Hope everyone else is too!
My niece and nephew in Mission had their 2010 Camero SS and 2011 Dodge Ram 4 dr. pickup totaled by hail, not to mention everything out side of the house.
I just read that one touched down east of downtown Dallas. Isn't Brian Bass' shop around there somewhere? Larry T
Talked with my mom earlier, she's a stewardess for an airline and got caught in the hail at DFW. They got everyone to safety. She said it sounded like someone was trying the kick in the cabin door...with a truck. Looks like they are there until at least early tomorrow am. Hope everyone else is going to be ok.
That was one of my thoughts.. As well as Anderson and Elrod. There are plenty of HAMBers over in the metroplex that I hope are all okay.
http://amarillo.com/slideshow/slideshow-tornadoes-slash-through-dallas-fort-worth-area#slide=0 Looks pretty bad. I heard there aren't any fatalities. Some minor injuries.. As many as 9 tornadoes touched down in the metroplex ranging from Southeast Dallas to Arlington and hail bigger than golf balls. Hope everyone made it out with minimal losses.
Got the roof on my house... storm got the roof this time last year... damn! Also took out my windshield... an S10... HAMBers will rejoice X
