Still here. Just got in from Texarkana. I arrived 2 hours before all this crap hit. I was wondering about everyone else. Hope everybody is safe.

HollyDay and I are fine. It was a little scary for her at work. Tennis - baseball size hail took out nearly 100 car windshields or back glasses. She took my truck to work and got some dings but nothing that bad. At home it wasn't nearly as bad.

It was interesting watching tennis/baseball size hail coming thru the skylights at work. It went on for several minutes.. we got lucky compared to others.

Cars are all right-side-up and the shingles are still on the roof so we're okay!

I was on 75 at the Richardson/Plano border during the whole thing. Half hour of hard rain and some lightning was all I had to deal with. They got it pretty bad back at base in Coppell, though. Glad I get to park on the dock.
I hope everyone is OK.

We had the triplets lined up and ready to grab 'em and run into the interior bathroom when they said there was a tornado about 1.5 miles away from us, but nothing came our way, just a lotta rain and hail... All clear here...

As LynDel reported, all good here. Most of the damage was south Arlington and we're on the north side. Got lucky, I guess.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Disco and I were in Lewisville the whole time. Except for some golf-ball-sized hail, all we got was heavy rain. Not even much wind. |

Really glad to know everyone is OK.
Sorry for the late post, but I met some friends for dinner and am just now getting on the computer. All good here except for some dents in the truck. Glad I didn't ride today. I almost did!
Thank you to all who checked up on me, both on and off the board.

All south of me. My son stood at his window at work in Irving and watched it hit Arlington after it passed over them.
