Thanks for the concern.. I had very little damage done to the house... I had some Wind damage, shingles came off and some hail damage but that’s about it.

The 2 tornados hit about 4 or 5 blocks away from my house in the main city area it did some good damage but nothing like you saw on TV.. The most damage happened on the north side of Forney on 80.. I live on the south side of Forney on 80.

I had a lot of calls coming in asking if my family was ok ..thanks to all the one asking. I couldn't call out or text when all this was going down . After it was all done I got a **** ton of calls all at once lol

Yea luckily I was at work in Plano and nothing came very close to us and nothing was close to my house. Everything was fine up until about 2pm, I had just got back from lunch and all of a sudden there were 3 tornados and more coming.

I just moved out of the Addison area in February to Shreveport, We got the tail end here but it was not near as bad. We just got some small hail, lots of rain and wind.

Glad everyone is ok!

I hate to say it, but I can see them trying to total that with the amount of damage you have. Unless you know a good PDR guy, that is plenty of work and your truck will prob weigh 200 lbs more from all of the filler. Could be a good chance to get a different hood though.

yeah, that's what I'm thinking might happen,since the hood and fenders would prolly be replaced to save time and labor, and all the people I know and are friends with at body shops are 5hrs away... we shall see though.. if it totals I might just buy it back, replaced the hood with one from a salvage yard, and not have a truck payment...

yup, I was just in Kennedale today to stop by Performance Torque Converters to drop off a converter to be cleaned. Asked my buddy who works there JD if he possibly saw the tornado, he whips out his phone and shows me all of the pictures he took, they watched the tornado form about 200 yards from the shop and start going, I have a couple of the pictures. ******* crazy, the areas I was in were definitely a mess, but nothing like Lancaster.
