I live about 200 yards from where one tornado hit in south Arlington, these are pics of the neighborhood. My house was mostly untouched, a few branches in the yard, something hit my truck and took out the side mirror.

Pics 1-3 are tree damage, limbs broken, several were uprooted. These are mostly oaks.

4-5 is some light damage to houses, part of the wall was pulled off or shingles of the houses.

6-7 is one of the most damage houses in the area that I saw. This was about an hour after the tornado passed, I think it says "OK FD" on the door, fire and police were in the area immediately.

8-11 are the houses going down the street.

12-13 is a camper that flew down the road about 3 houses away.

14 another random house.

15 on is a friend's parents house, it's destroyed. Spent several house over there helping them clear things and get that car out from under the tree.

North Dallas got whacked. We evacuated to the 1st floor of the building (Maxim) for an hour or so. One touched down in Addison, but luckily Farmers Branch was spared.

Arlington, Rockwall, etc. on the other hand... :eek:

I was in Carrollton when the tornados hit. Luckily, that area was pretty safe.

Was pretty intense to hear the sirens going on/off.

Wow. Glad you made it out!

More importantly.....so are you going to call Geico to get that mirror fixed? :p

You can see it in the 9th pic, which also has a propane tank on the side of the road. Wonder how far it was thrown.
