TG, do you live in that area? Are you and yours okay?
That's awful 
Tornadoes scare the hell out of me far more than ice storms, hurricanes etc. |

That's pretty bad EF3 damage at least. There was no warning!

My son and I were in that Home Depot at 7:30pm a week ago yesterday. We were looking and pictures this morning and trying to get him to understand how a perfectly good building was just completely destroyed.

I'm a little farther south than ThawnTex. Was watching on the tv and radar. We were in a small gap between the two storm cells, one went north of us, the other to the south of us. Dodged a bullet with just some wind gusts and rain.
@thawntex If you need anything I'll help if i can. I have some room in my safe as well. To any other arfcommers in the area, lets us know if need some help. Will do what we can. 44 |

All the pictures in the world do no justice to seeing something like that in person. It is awful. Prayers out to those in the path. The rebuilding can take years.

It was pretty sporty. Glad no one was hurt. I was at work adjacent to White Rock lake. Sirens going, incredible lightning. I hid out in a basement. ?? |

Hurricanes scare me worse than tornadoes. Scary as they are, tornadoes are super localized. Get a couple blocks away from it and you escape with minor or no damage. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/61337/Tornado-Rowlett-GJ-McCarthy_jpg-1132936.JPG 
Talked to a buddy today who lives close to this one....no damage, but his wife is still shook up about it. Good luck to anyone in the area! |

Why did people build houses and businesses where tornadoes and bad weather are? Do they rebuild or move the hell out of there?
Just asking because I'm in the same boat with a flooding issue. People here tell me I shouldn't live where it never flooded up until 2 years ago. Trying to figure if I should move away from hurricane central to earthquake , wildfire or tornado central? |

This is the best "path map" that I have found of the Dallas twister(s).
Has anyone seen a better one?

With urban development, water that would be absorbed is now run off. A one inch rain in a square mile of suburbia creates a tremendous amount of runoff. It can easily act like 3 or more inches. |

Like the other poster said, it makes a much bigger impact when you see it in person. I think we were all awestruck that something that powerful passed within a 1000 yards of our place. |
