There has been 11 deaths and many injuries. Cars were tossed off the highway overpasses as the tornadoes crossed the roads. It all began in early evening and was still a threat by 10 p.m. This morning, in the light of day, the damage is vast and they expect the NWS to declare this a F3 or F4 tornado -- the big tornado -- I am not sure about the smaller ones.
So, for any of my readers who saw this on the news, just letting you know that we are fine. We live in west Fort Worth and this was all on the east side of Dallas. We got some rain, some lightening and for some reason we lost power for about 30 minutes but we didn't experience anything severe and for that I am thankful. However, there are a lot of families that weren't so lucky and the new year will be full of trying to put lives back together. So, so sad.
By the way, have I ever mentioned that I really don't care for the weather in North Texas? I guess I am just a San Antonio girl at heart and always will be. If my kids didn't live here, I would move back. The weather wasn't perfect there but at least we didn't have as much threatening weather from tornadoes to ice.
What is up next? Well, we are going to have more rain today - and wind -- and then tonight it is going to get cold and we might have a snowflake. They said if there was any snow it wouldn't accumulate and it wouldn't be a problem. When they say that, it is time to go to the grocery store and stock up for the blizzard because they ARE. ALWAYS. WRONG.
So, just wanted to let anybody who was wondering know that we are fine and hopefully the tornado activity is over.
