Just lots of strong wind and heavy rain while I was at work, 635 and Luna area. Drove the truck to work so I didn't mind it much. I'm home now and seems to have died off for the most part.

People at work were getting reports from family members of the hail and tornadoes. Hope everyone is okay and it's just property damage, that stuff can be replaced.

I'm safe in Garland. According to the news, my T/A is safe in Rowlett as well.

Luckily I skipped my last class of school today, otherwise I would've been stuck driving in it. And I had no clue that a severe storm was on the way prior to people texting me and asking if I was staying safe, lol.

I live in Irving near the Airport, The Tornado that went through Arlington came very close could see the funnel out the back window of my house headed my way. Storm debris falling from sky into my yard. To close for comfort...

there wasn't a single dent on my truck except for the tailgate..... now:


this dent actually drops below the top of the door about 3/8" at the bottom of the seal


at 1st the windshield didn't look to bad

then I got inside


All 4 doors, bedsides, and even front bumper all have damage to it... some I have no idea how it got that low..

Monday morning @ 5am I was on 59 south heading to Tilden, TX for work and there was a damn light show. Look bad *** at first all the lightning then started to rain while the.lighting was lighting up the sky ,so I look to my left and what do I see is a huge fucken tornado couple miles wide. It was I say a good long way from the road but this thing was massive! Scary part you could only see it when the lightning was striking down.cause it was so dark. It was right before entering Victoria,TX . Was some scary **** never witness that.

I'm more concerned about SSHAWK since he's the only member I know of our in Forney, and I know they got hit REALLY ******* hard. Got fairly hectic out where I was today, but no tornados where I was. Closest one was 10 miles away.
