I heard from him. He is ok and back in his recliner but staying tuned to the weather until 8 tonight. I think from his description it his about 1 mile west and a couple of blocks or so south of him. Whew. Still haven’t heard from sister in Irving but he said he had talked to her. Trying not to add to the heavy tying up of phone lines.

Not much of it.. I’m directly east of Plano (Murphy) and we’ve had a bit of rain and some distant thunder, but not much else

TY! My ex-husband just texted he and my daughter are ok. He shattered his collar bone last week making mobility difficult.

Oh Lord, thank you!

My sister-in-law had cancer surgery this AM, and she lives in Wylie, slightly northeast of DALLAS. He kids (all adopted) are home. I hope that they have been looked after, or are in no danger.

Glad you heard from him! Fox is talking about another system headed to Arlington as I type this. They are talking about it right now. It is headed toward the “ball park” and the reporter said it is getting dark thee. They encountered hail on the way out. People are having a hard time driving on the road. Inclement weather on the way. Very gray clouds. Meterologist said the storm is right on 30 in Arlington. “Tornadic storm near Arlington is rain wrapped. Your dad should take cover again. He will not be able to see the tornado they said. Heavy rain and hail.

Yep.

Sirens are going off again, third time today.

Scary bruised yellow/purple clouds roiling above.

Incredible

Hope that these storms don’t track into the Central Arkansas area as they historically tend to do.

If I understand the location of your father correctly, that rotation is just east and he is likely out of its way.

I’m not. Time to duck.

Take care . . . are you east of Cooper? He is just west of Cooper near Bowen Rd and Pleasant Ridge.

Rushing home and found myself on collision course with this monster. Streets blocked off...damage all around my neighborhood...my property is mostly fine, but I have no power- probably because many of the utility poles are strewn around the area. Second, smaller tornado passed over wrapped in rain. Been a wild day in Tarrant county, and Dallas,too, I understand. Enjoy the view. Photobucket

Good luck with the power issues. We were without for a solid week this time last year. Take Care and Prayer to you!
