Calms back down for the rest of the week. FW escaped. I let the dog out, saw the storm barreling in from my backyard. God dog in. Phone alerted, sirens went off, in a span of 3-5 minutes. Fast and furious
Glad you are OK!
I hope the Green Frog is intact.

So first the high school was hit by a tornado. And THEN it got damaged ....by something. What was the something?
The storms on the south side of Dallas blew through very fast.
Just some wind damage.
A dozen or so tornadoes in Central TX yesterday. Seems a bit early for such weather.
It wasn’t that warm around here in DFW to spawn such powerful tornadoes.
Maybe there was much more energy in the atmosphere down by Austin.
And the storms kept popping up all night it seems.
Glad that was all and all is well. It was. Crazy.
All good down here in the flats between Houston & the Texas Gulf.
