Hope none of you are in it's way. It's on teh news now.
People are stopping cars on overpasses to watch it, not the thing to do.

NO kidding, glad it is over. I haven't seen good new and closeups of them actually coming down in a while. I think it was 4-5 actually touch done. YOu could see flareups when electric poles and such blew up. I hope everyone is ok. I kept thinking about QB members in the area. Hope none were effected by this.

In April of 2000 we passed thru Dallas on I-20. We remember seeing a multistory apartment building with one side torn off from a tornado the night before.

I was in Dallas that day. It was certainly a day to remember!

I am down here in Round Rock(just north of Austin). We got lots of rain(10") and wind, but no tornadoes thankfully.
