Hope all is well for our GBO Texas friends in wake of Tornado
« on: April 03, 2012, 11:40:15 AM »
Was watching Tornado footage live and was on the phone with wife's Grandpa while Tornado ripped through East Dallas headed towards Garland area. He came out unscathed , thank you Lord. Aunt in south East Dallas also came through ok.

I hope others loved one's were spared as well.

Thoughts and prayers going out to Dallas Metroplex friends families and communities tonight.

Yeah we got hammered pretty good today although this season we have been spared a lot of the damage other places got this season instead of us.
 
For me the damage was very mild and minor although one tornado passed just to the east and one just to the west barely missed my neighborhood.  Quiet a few of my friends and neighbors who were at work werent so lucky.  It was a pretty hairy and tense day to be sure most of the day.  I will definitely be "counting my stars" before bed when I get off work this morning for sure!  Prayers and best wishes for those who werent as lucky as I was today.

My youngest Granddaughter was playing in a high school district
golf tournament in Lancaster that morning when it was called after
they started the back 9.  Too much lightening and 1 hour later the
powerful tornado was in town. Very lucky no one lost their life. Just
north of where I live, we got hail and a lot of wind. Tis the season
here in Texas.
