FYI the weather...

Everyone in my family is ok. Tornadoes managed to miss all of our families houses (parents, mother-in-law, etc). Spent some time in a closet under the stairs with my dog and a wind up powered radio, but no funnel cloud to try to take us away!

Just part of being a Texan.

The storm's heading our way now, but I don't think it will be too bad. I'm glad to hear you and your family are alright T.

yeah... those are the trailers from 18 wheelers flying through the air in that pic! :oo

They were tossed around like toys. It's crazy, tornadoes went by where I live to the east and west and not far at all.. like a 5 min drive.

More impressive when you see the video.

They are saying there were as many as 15 tornadoes. Today, it's bright, sunny, and you'd never guess the craziness that was yesterday ever occurred.

Those box cars weigh in excess of 30 tons and there are being tossed around like toys. Man I thought earthquakes were bad.

And no one was killed. Unbelievable. 13 tornadoes like that one in the video.

OK, I see the wheels on the trailers now so there not boxcars. Still looks mighty dangerous.

Glad you are safe. Everyone in out area right now is freaking out because we had a tornado the other day a little north of us and tornado warning for a pretty big storm happening right now. Nothing like what you guys have, we here in California just arnt used to this type of thing. Our buildings here are built to handle earthquakes, not tornadoes. No one has a basement here.
