the topography and weather engine of the pnw makes tornados very rare.

I am working from home today. They split me here. But Betty's work is right in the path of one. She told me they were in the stairwell for about 20 minutes.

Her 914 is in the parking deck there. Everyone pray it is undamaged.

Just checked the radar and I don't think it's even going to make it here, thankfully.

Finally my brother called from Dallas. He just pulled his new camero Ss in the shop when it started throwing golf balls. One just missed his house. He was pretty scared, comming from shaky ground here, he had never seen anything like it. Actually watched one form in front of him. Think he's moving soon!

Anyone here know Rich Lambert in Benbrook? He is a great mechanic just hard to get a hold of sometime. I have no idea if the storms went through there? He is not much for answering the phone so I did not even try to call him to check on him and his shop?

It was so bad for a couple of hours I thought I was living in Oklahoma! 12 Separate tornado funnels. Watch the CNN video of 18 wheel trailers several hundreds of feet in the air like Dorthy's house.

In Plano (just north of Dallas), we got some heavy rain. Wife, house & cars are all ok.

At the office in Addison, storms were stronger and they had us take cover in the stairwells as a precaution.

Scary stuff!

Most of the damage was south of Dallas. A good friend of mine was driving home and took this picture our of her car window. This is the one that was tossing the 18 wheelers around.

The tornados were 5 miles east, and 10 miles west of me...
House and yard are fine, but I lost a 60 foot tree due to straight line winds about 12 days ago...
It does not appear that there was anyone killed yesterday, which is a miracle after seeing the videos -
