Tornado Outbreak in Dallas!

We're all okay here in Big D! I can't get a signal to call or text! I was near downtown Dallas when the storms started. It's been an insane afternoon! I was very close to 2 tornadoes that touched down while I was in downtown Dallas area. After many hours have now passed I realized I actually never ate lunch! My adrenaline has been pumping! Getting some lunch took a backseat to getting home and then getting the 3 of us to a safer location.

I'll talk more about the many storms later tonight or tomorrow. The count so far is 12 tornadoes have hit the Dallas area. The worst outbreak since April 3, 1979! Very odd that the month and day match! I've seen 2 story homes with the 2nd story completely gone! Lots of cars damaged in the parking lot. One car is so badly damaged it looks like it got shot several times! Our place is fine all except for a broken window and no water. Power has been on and off! My TV is having issues...at times I don't have a picture but I have volume. There's been no regular TV programming it's been all tornado coverage. I think it will be a rainy night with some thunderstorms mixed in and they say the tornado activity is still a possibility but just a slight one. Seems as though the worst is over!

I totally meant to call my aunt today as she is celebrating her birthday. Obviously, that didn't happen. So I'll say a special happy birthday here! Happy birthday Aunt Carol! Hope you had a great day celebrating!
