It looks like a tornado hit my apartment complex last night. Many trees down, lots of covered parking spots are destroyed. I saw at least 3 cars with broken windows. It's surreal.

I had to step over a tree when I got home this morning.

I would take pictures, but I'm too lazy.

yeah, that's what I saw... but it helps against the hail

got a bit of hail..strong rain and some wind but over all easy compared to the outskirts of town...thank goodness for living in downtown dallas Smilie
did you see the national radar? the damn storm line went from the border of mexico all the way to Chicago.
I did see a big thing in the radar. I doubt you'd get something like a tornado there in downtown... I am not too far north from there

The air here is very still and heavy. Feels like tornado weather.

Looking at the NOAA radar, looks like there's a tornado somewhere near Breckenridge.

And another one just NNW of Big Spring.
