I've been on the phone with my best friend who left work in hopes of getting home! OMG! I got her to stop at a grocery, then once she got back on the road again she pulled over at a hospital. I was a nervous wreck hearing her scream and cry....she's now home.

My family lives in Univ. Park. Sirens going off

Sister just called and my nephew is not due back from China until Thursday. He's parked his car at the Dallas/Forth Worth airport. His company will check his apartment and business.

I'd call the trailer tossing tornado at least an F2, possibly F3 though it wasn't the one mile to two mile wide monsters some tornadoes can become.

Won't know the exact rating until the damage is accessed as it's the damage caused which gives the tornadoes their F-rating.

:woohoo:

Who'd a thunk he'd be happy to be in China!

lol...at least safe in China from tornado outbreak!

Just don't know how his car, home and business fared. But those can be replaced and he can't.
