Tornadoes in North Texas

It has been a very bad night across North Texas with destruction from tornadoes and large hail. There have been multiple mass casualty situations and there have been fatalities. The preliminary tornado count in the area is ten with hundreds of homes either destroyed or damaged.

Here in Plano the civil defense sirens sounded earlier, but, so far we have been spared hail and damage. We have had some wind, some incredible lightening, and torrential rain. Storms continue to track across the area and the tornado watch continues till 1 am, but the local meteorologists seem to believe things are starting to wind down.

We personally have been very lucky tonight.
