I work in Dallas & live in Plano. They did evacuate the building where I work, but no tornadoes were in the immediate area. My home is still standing; the kitties were a little traumatized, but settled out quickly

My brother lives in Greenville, TX. His son is a sheriff's deputy in Dallas. His son called him and said there's a tornado headed straight for you, get out of town, so my brother and SIL gathered the animals and headed south. Around Cash they stopped in a parking lot because the wind was getting so strong. Suddenly the truck was lifted about a foot off the ground and started shaking like it was trying to shake the change out of their pockets. The wind died down and the truck fell back to the ground. It scared them both pretty bad, but everyone in the family is doing ok. No damage to family or their homes. Thank God.

Did anyone see the one video with the semi trailers/trucks being just picked up and thrown around ? wow I watched that as it wasn't far from the Dallas terminal of the trucking company I work for .. Just blew my mind what can happen in a tornado
I do hope all in Dallas and the area that was hit are ok .. prayers to all

The tornadoes in Texas were shown on our stations here. What an ordeal with the 18 wheelers flying in the air. No one is safe in tornadoes unless you are in a ground shelter or "safe room" - steel walled room in your house. We are about to be at the one year mark here in AL when it was such a horrible night. Actually we are also at a 38 year mark that we just passed on April 3rd, 1974 where there were tornadoes flying all around us (I know at least 5 were on the ground that night). Praying for a safe spring. Bless that mother that lost her legs and all the others who lost family members and lost everything.
