I think we had another tornado through our neighborhood early yesterday morn. I have a big tree down in my front yard, The county was moving trees that were blocking roads.

I'm watching it develop on radar. I'm sitting in a calm weather pocket here at work, but some of the worst of it seems to be slowly marching towards my home and family.

Looks nasty out.  Starting to get hail now.

Sirens blaring.  Maybe I can get out of work early.  :D

I watched one pass by our office a while ago. Wild! We had all the employees in safe areas waiting. It just missed us.

Had my phone and could have videoed but was in awe.

One clipped the north side of our town about an hour ago. The sirens are going off again this one looks like it will pass just south of Sulphur Springs.

You live in Coppell?

Most of the cars at the Townlake of Coppell apartments got bombed by hand-grenade sized hail. Two out of three of our cars. One was, luckily, at Plano and missed it.

National weather service has given an initial estimate of 12 tornados touching down in the DFW area from no less than 5 "super" storm cells that passed through the area tonight.  Any way you look at it this storm system set records for the area.

Trashed one street over including the nursing home.  Hits all around me but no damage more than a bunch of roofing material in my yard.  Power was out till 6 this morning. 

The dogs were pretty shook up when I got home but that's the worst of it :)

Yep.

We dodged it.  It got dark as night for a while and marble size hail, but no real damage where I live.

Cars are considered 4 wheelers in the trucking jargon.

so how do they steer with only 16 wheels?   :headscratch: :bhead :rofl :neener:

They are 18 wheelers... 4 axels of 4 wheels plus the front axel of two wheels... Soon they will only be 10 wheelers as a lot of companies are switching from the double tires to one large tire.
