Things are ok in the my neighborhood, which includes Chef, Bucky and BB. We had lots of heavy rain here, but nothing like they had over near Dallas. I don't believe Liz and Kevin were near the path of those tornados.

for those who were affected.

We are OK so far. The tornadoes have all been South of us. More cells moving through though.

I was watching it on doppler radar; there were quite a few purple areas. That - is never good.

Who says it doesn't pay to have a "decoy" trailer park on the outskirts of town!!!! Glad you guys are ok. I hope all that were in its path have been able to escape injury.

2 tornadoes went through here - just a few miles south east here in Joshua, south of Fort Worth. 1 destroyed a few homes and continued on up to DFW and did some damage to Arlington. The other one did not cause much damage.

Our neighborhood was not hit, all safe here.
