Angry DFW area, Friday the 13th, tornados, hail, gusty winds and heavy rain

Today, Dallas/Fort Worth sun, blue sky nice day, then about 5:30 hell broke loose.. just came home parked the car in the garage, taking a quick power nap... ummm... then

tornados, heavy rain, ping pong ball ice hail... the red wall is the severe rain and hail moved west to east, sweeping north and south of Dallas.

this is the sky at 6:10PM, 1 hour before sunset, day turned into night.

yep, ice ***** mate! ping pong, some part, close to baseball size... ouch!
where I lived, I got dime size, some quarters but a 1/4 of the size vs some other parts. most areas got screwed.

good to report TA is safe in the garage , daily driver is good under covered parking space and then my wife's car is good too...

I live in Irving, so nothing major in terms of damage. Haltom city got affected big time by tornados, and north of Ft Worth I heard... if you got more pics, post here images and/or links to videos/images. and share your stories...
