TORNADO

This picture was taken by my daughter's boyfriend (Nick) on his way home during our recent tornadoes. This is on the eastern end of Mesquite, TX (Dallas County). Moments later this sucker hit Forney, TX hard.

Nick works at a Firestone Store in Mesquite. Next to their store is a Kwick Kar Oil Change Station. It was damned near flattened. No damage of any kind to the Firestone.

We had a couple of little tornados here yesterday, pulled a roof off a house and tipped over some train cars. I watched one go by about 2 miles east of my house.

Had a few hail stones too. Mighty early for that crap to get started.

We had Two distinctly independent Super Cells Hit North Texas at the same time. Even the old time weather pros had never seen anything like it around here.
