wow, we had 2 tornados on the ground within a mile of my house today. There have been 6 to 8 large tornados reported in the DFW metro area so far today and I don't even know if that is counting the little ones that passed near here without doing much damage.

The News Reports were telling how semi trucks were being lifted and carried for large distances and tossed about as how a child would toss little play cars.
It is good that you are enabled to log on here inspite of being so close to the tornadoes what with all the power lines that seems might be down.

Yeah, we lost power off and on throughout the afternoon. The area where i live was where everything started but the really damaging storms were in other cities nearby. All of our power lines are buried here so we didn't struggle too much with that. I used to work in the area where the trailors were flying about and lots of distruction happened. It was really strange having such devistation so close.
