It's always a good feeling when the Tornado sirens go off and you turn the tube on to see a tornado heading directly for you on the weather map.

It did go directly over me, but it had slowed down to nothing as it went overhead. Just got a lot of rain for 15 minutes.

Man that is nuts!

They say this is going to be a bad year for storms but on a side note we could use the rain.

One good thing about being in Utah a state surrounded by mountains is we dont have worrie to much about tornados.
The only sirens i hear are from the prison next to my apt.

Ok, my wife lived in the apartments down the road when she was going to school. We looked at houses all around that area and settled in South Arlington near Mansfield.

Saw pictures on the local news of golf ball size hail in North Arlington about 7-8 miles away. Why would you save hail in your freezer? I've got ice cubes in there already.
Looks like this whole week will be bad weather, cold front with off and on rain will be settling in on us until Monday.
Oh well we definately need the rain.

Nah, dont have time to stalk anyone, to busy at work. But if it'll make ya feel better I can post up signs in the area: "have you seen Steve?"

Everybody in DFW ok after that round of storms today?
My Jeep took a beating at work, 3 holes in the softtop and eight golf ball size dents on the hood and fenders.

Sorry to hear that, Tim. We didn't get anything but a hard rain in Burleson...

Haltom City got the real beat down.

It's minor compared to what people off 121 got.
Glad I worked late, I woulda passed 121 & North Beach at the time the tornado was hitting.

I took the dents out with Dry Ice this morning and the duct tape patches on the top give it character.

Looks like another round of stormy weather headed to DFW. Everybody duck and cover, stay safe out there for the next day or two.
