This one looks bad. Hope everyone is OK. SE Dallas and south and central Arlington look to be getting it the worst of it right  now. Undecided

My Son and Grandson are in Arlington, and many other relatives in the DFW are, here is a prayer for my children and all of our Northern Brothers and Sisters. Try to stay out of harms way.

Just talked to my daughter in NE FT worth. (Almost in Hurst, Trinity BLVD and S Precinct Line area) Looks like the worst of it has passed her and is now North East of her.

Just Riding The Many Storms Of Life

Ft.Worth, Texas

Those rigs were at the Schneider terminal just west of the Flying J truckstop.  Haven't heard of anyone hurt yet at that yard.  They keep saying the J was hit but from the videos I've seen it was the Schneider Terminal that got nailed.  If you look at the trailers, most if not all are orange, Schneider colors.  The storms are heading north east and now Greenville is about to get hit by a huge cell.  Prayers to all those people, please keep them safe

Prayers & thoughts for all the Texans in the middle of this crap.....

Our season for these storms hasn't quite got off the ground so to speak yet.

Went through 1, and do not feel like going through # 2.

...and that was the fastest by FAR a Schneider trailer has EVER traveled!

The good news, SO FAR at least no deaths or serious injuries have been reported... Everything else is superfluous IMHO...

Yeah, the Schneider footage is pretty incredible!  We (thankfully) dodged a bullet yet again by small margin here in Carrollton. We've checked in with all of our peeps and everyone is safe and sound.  Looks like you guys are OK too thank goodness!

 2funny  A similar thought went through my mind. "When the smoke clears"  Makes J.B. Hunt look good.
Seriously though, glad nobody was hurt.
