    Looks like it hit roughly, just south of the ‘high five’ (intersection of U.S. 75 - Central Expressway and IH 635 - LBJ Freeway) and moved/skipped north to Richardson. Tore roof off the Home Depot at Forest Lane & Central and took the roof off a church in Richardson. Some other scattered damage in between as well. A separate tornado hit south of Dallas, in Midlothian, too.

    Wife and I were setting on the patio last night between 9-10 which looks toward the east. Impressive cloud bank that was lighting up like a Xmas tree. There were several rotating cells in that storm that developed before moving into DFW but no idea a tornado did drop until this morning. Daughter takes Dart from Plano to Dallas so hopefully her employer will allow them to WFH today.

    15 mile tornado track. South of 635 from 35e east past 75 then turning NE.

    Then the squall line came thru with some high winds.

    Another tornado south of that one but not as big a deal.

    Hope you all are ok.

    The storm was impressive from the north. I'm east of Denton along 380 and could see the lightening and altitude of the storm.

    I am sorry that people's property were destroyed, but no one was seriously injured or killed as of this morning's papers. Everyone is making it out to be a much bigger disaster than it is. The floods in Houston (5 times in 4 years) are a much bigger disaster short and long term.

    I made this meme this morning because hundreds of people were marking themselves safe. It was ridiculous.

    You choose to live in tornado alley..
    You choose to live in a reclaimed swamp like area that floods regularly...

    Seems about equal if you want to get right down to it.

    Glass houses and all that.

    If your hiding in your closet as your roof blows off isnt much different than hiding in your attic as your home floods. It's a tragedy when it happens to you.
