Seems like a stroke of luck. I am flying out in the morning to check for hail damage on our properties.

Those videos of those semi trailers getting sucked into the air were pretty wild. I hadn't heard of any major injuries, considering the damage.

Ya Arlington got hit pretty hard tearing up a lot of houses and apartments. Heard about a building collapsing too but so far no deaths have been reported and hopefully it stays that way

I saw a video from inside of a school bus that got picked up and chucked into a building across the street, minutes after the kids and driver got off.

That one and a couple of others are here: http://abcnews.go.com/US/tornadoes-tear-dallas/story?id=16063683#.T3u9Z…

Thankfully, no reports of any fatalities.

I am completely surprised that there haven’t been any reports of any major injuries. Those storms were as real as they come around here. The news media has completely desensitized everyone when it comes to the news. They report regular thunderstorms as if they’re going to do the damage that these storms did so when the real thing comes around like it did the other day, I know there had to be people standing outside looking around. I know I do it. In fact, the highest warning I had ever heard of was a “tornado warning”. Well they announced a “tornado emergency”. They didn’t have that term when the tornados swept through downtown Fort Worth a few years ago. What’s next, a “tornado Armageddon”?

All good here. There's quite a bit of damage about a mile or 2 from our house, supposedly we had an EF-2 headed right for us, but it died down, and lifted up. Pretty scary stuff, but thank God nobody was killed or seriously hurt.
