All the storm damage went east of Dallas. Haven't heard of any 914 people damage yet.

The tornado jumped right over my son's house in Lavon. He had a GoPro out and got pics of it. Houses to the north and south were hit. Lucky as hell.

I was driving back to Boulder from San Antonio in the RV and was just barely ahead of it around Lubbock, I could see the cloud front, no joke outside air temp dropped 26 degrees in under five minutes never experienced that before. RV, even our small one in 60mph crosswind was no fun...
Hope everyone is ok. |

Yeah in two days we experienced high 70's temps, then tornadoes that evening, then torrential rains as the temps dropped into the 40's, some flash flooding, hail, freezing rain/sleet and just a tiny bit of snow. But Clay is right, the bad tornadoes were on the eastern side of the DFW Metroplex. The worst of the tornadoes (about 11 of them) was an EF4, with sustained winds of 180mph plus, on the ground for 13 straight miles and approximately 20 minutes and at its largest was 550 yards wide.

Tornados took out a neighborhood about 3 miles from my house. We have friends of about 15 years that lost their house - it's a total.
They weren't home, so everybody's OK minus the family Chihuahua, that hasn't been found yet. This is a shot of their street I took yesterday. That's their house on the left - Attached thumbnail(s)
