Hey Texas people (Reece?) - Be careful out there!

Been hearing lots of bad news about out-of-control looping devices out your way.  Stay safe!

Watch for those things!!

Because you have a wife you tells you to?
(And you have another stash of becan hidden there as well?)

We have had to move to the center of our warehouse 3 times now.  Sirens have been going off, on and off for several hours now.  One of the Carpenters that works for me just left for home, after the last wave of tornados.  Appearently his wife called and said they had just lost their roof.

ouch!  where is your warehouse and where is the Carpenter's house? 
 
it seems from what I'm hearing/seeing on the weather radar and NWS alerts that the worst areas hit are northeast Tarrant/Northwest Dallas areas. 

It looks like the worst of of it is right on top of you, Mike.
Good luck.

Work in Grand Prairie just north of 6 Flags, but live in Mesquite.  This round seems to have blown through.  A coworker said there may be one more yet.

My neighbor in Mesquite said that my house is still there, but I know she can't see much of it from her house.  Kids are in school, wife called from Garland where she is sitting it out.  

Luckily, I'm off today, Reece.
Just moments after the sirens started, Donna called. She was on her way home from from Frisco, and wanted me to turn on the news and find out what she was driving into. I could hear the hail pelting her car.
I told her to get off the road, and she holed up in a bank near the 820/20 interchange. She would have been driving through Kennedale as it got rough. We stayed on the phone, and when the window opened up, she made the dash for home before the second wave moved in.
The air on the ground was strangely still, but the clouds were going crazy, and I saw several tails form and dissipate.
The area where Reece and I live saw relatively mild action. Most of the intense damage has been farther to the East. The tornado that passed through Arlington and South Dallas stayed on the ground for over half an hour.
Thankfully, very few injuries have been reported so far.

RobertB - I forgot this is Tuesday - you're home aren't you?  did we get any hail or high winds there?

Not much here at all, Reece. Some rain and lightning, but that's it. We got lucky.

good deal!  glad Donna's OK.

I go to church in Kennedale and have friends in that area, tho.  I need to try to contact them and make sure everything's OK.
 
I still haven't heard yet from Beverly, either, but she's training on a new job and isn't by her email or phone and can't have her cell phone with her.

Our thoughts are with our Texas Friends out there. 

Sincerely-The Smiths 

Stunning!!!

I continue send prayers and best wishes to everyone.

Your link didn't connect fast enough for my ADHD to handle but, if that's the one showing the tractor-trailers flying around, I've seen it and it's unbelievable.  Then, later in the video, you see the tornado cooking past a road with a lot of traffic WAY too close...

It was the flying tractor-trailers.  I don't remember seeing the traffic.
