Thanks for the ping DD. Our OEM has a pretty active SkyWarn program and a decent spotter network as well. We just had over 100 people get certified at the Wx Spotter class we had in March.

We've also been certified as a "Storm Ready" county. That's a pretty big deal as as weather is one of the principle hazards we face. Our EOC is the 'warning point' for 15 counties so it behooves us to have our rocks in a pile.

Once again, thanks for the ping!

Thanks for the ping on this one. I was listening to the spotters on my 2m. I'm IN Collin County, but luckily not in the northern part.

Damage totals so far I have seen are 10+ injured, 3 killed, 26 homes totally destroyed, and an unknown number of homes/property damaged.

For as bad as this one was, I am grateful it did not hit McKinney, as the loss of life & property would have been significantly higher.
