TWC just had banner that Rock Wall TX had extensive damage and search and rescue going on.

Truck trailers aren’t very aerodynamic. Their L/D ratio sucks.

All kidding aside, I hope there were no deaths and as few injuries and as minimal damage as is possible as a result of the many tornadoes in the Dallas - Fort Worth metroplex. My prayers are with all of those affected.

Wow - what a picture.

Those of us down here in the middle had a scary night about two weeks ago - no big ones like that though.

Sending prayers for everyone involved.

I told someone when we had bad weather coming it looked like cars were safer than the house sometimes.

Seems to be southern part of the Metromess — Arlington, Lancaster got hit hard.

20-30 homes damaged in Forney area.

ANY place in the path of the overall storm can be in danger. It is going to be a rough night in east Texas. Okla and AR and LA may be in the path later tonight.

Round Rock is near Austin, they are pretty much in the clear. Only small storms rolling through now. Austin news had nothing about damage there today
