And we got the same deafening sound of wind with the strobe lightning. Was quite discombobulated so I trundled the family into the hall closet just ion case. I've seen tornadoes off in the distance but never heard the "freight train" so I wasn't taking any chances.

There were trees all around my house which were reduced to stumps. The house at the end of my cul de sac had siding piled in their entryway and my trash cans are nowhere to be found. Scary stuff...

it was kinda crazy, but I sleep through that kinda stuff or it makes me go to sleep - I was in an earthquake on top of a mountain in California 8 years ago, and slept like a baby while others in the dorm were screaming.

anyhow, woke up, drove to work in the morning up at the Tollroad and Tennyson, and the building next to us had a few windows pop out, there's caution tape up everywhere, trees uprooted, and the biggest thing was a Corvette flipped over and a tree fell on it. pretty messed up I'd say, and I don't know how else that would've happened if a tornado didn't touch down briefly...a lady that lives nearby said she was cowering in her bathtub and swears the apartment was almost ripped up from the ground...

It was really crazy last night. Addison road is covered in insulation from some building...

The street lights at Midway and Frankford are on the ground.

There were repair trucks all over Addison Airport.

Lots of rain, high wind, but no damage. Actually the previous night was scarier for us, lots of hail in 3 waves, luckily no real damage as far as I can tell.

no hail.
lots of rain.

city sewer backed up into our house (greywater, thank God).
servicemaster is cleaning our house as i type lol
were renting, so we dont have to pay any of it...but should be getting new flooring throughout our house.

also had a tree less than 10' from my window get struck by lightening and fall on our roof (didnt fall through) but hit hard enough to knock my surroud sound speaker off the wall

sherman got owned last nite, at least my part lol

also heard reports of a tornado touching down near 75 and 82...some ppl are still without power out in that area

lost power at 3am and it JUST came back. tons of tree limbs in the roads and street lights either twisted around or fallen into the street. gotta give it to plano though, they are doing a good job of repairing signals and directing traffic, carrollton and dallas dont seem to be doing jack

on the ground briefly, though I'm willing to bet a lot of this damage is straight-line wind related. It can be awfully hard to differentiate between the two.

Little to report in Tyler, though some huge trees have been uprooted in parts of the city. Very quiet on the south side though, except for the lightning/thunder that promptly woke me up at 7ish.

Streets were wet. Didn't see any damage around. If there was any sort of bad storm, I must have slept right through it.

I live @ Midway & Frankford....my power was just restored about 25 minutes ago. Yep, 12 plus hours w/out freakin power. To make things worse, I work from home. So today was an absolute waste for me.

Haha, Walmart was w/out power all day too. I'll bet they lost at least a mil in revenue.

Now, back to the game.
