Hope all my friends and fellow forumites are well, and were spared any collateral damage from the storms.

NWS said the tornado went though 3 miles East of Euless. We live on the Euless/Bedford border. Hope all is well at home Andy.

Stay safe! From the radio, sounds like they were some pretty rough storms.

There's reports that semi trailers were being thrown 100s of feet into the air and tossed around, lots of flooding and power outages...stay safe, and be very careful on the roads up there!

Was battening down and watching local Fox news.. They showed some live helo footage of those trailers being tossed in the air like toys. SE side of Dallas. Scary stuff. Thankfully all clear and unscathed here on the North side of FTW.

Hope all the rest of y'all are ok.

Andy, I think you'll probably be OK. The worst damage was a little south and east of you, closer to the south side of the airport...from what I can see on the news.

We're fine here in Grapevine/Colleyville/Euless border area. Got a lot a rain, wind, and a little hail, but our house is mostly OK. We did have a LOT of rain come down our chimney and I'm collecting it in buckets. I suspect that either this storm or the previous one damaged my chimney cap, so I'm going to have to get that repaired.

Is everyone else OK?
