Tornados on the ground

Multiple in Dallas. F3-4.

Sirens blaring.

Hunkered down in the woman's bathroom.

Tornados in densly populated areas are always bad news.

Good luck to all the Pelicans and everyone else in that area. I just watched a news video showing semi trucks being flung through the air like toys. Crazy.

Looks like we are OK by my office.

It's passed us.

Waiting to hear about the ones up by my house.

Kids are in school so they should be fine.

Wife is in the weather room at her school so she should be safe as well.

Yes, more towards the central and easy half of the state. We had our bumpy weather last night. It's cold out here now, all we are getting I'd rain

Seems to be all clear for the time being.

Good luck to you guys up in OK.

Hope it's not dark when the chit hits the fan up there later.

Hope everyone is alright, not much info on the news yet as to injuries etc. Glad I live in New England. Worst we see is snow and no power. Got a generator and a sled, so I really dont see a problem.

New England does not get many tornadoes, but they do get them. Hurricanes are the real damage makers, but they don't sneak up anyone with any brains.

True dat.

Tornados are like getting mugged.

Hurricanes are more like natural selection.
