That's OK, I don't think it's damage to the structure....just to an aluminum cap that's been damaged some how. It's global warming.......or something.

All safe in my neck of the woods. We got a fair amount of heavy rain, some pea to marble sized hail and lots of lightning.

No, I work in our Houston office. That was one of our Coppell employee's car. All the cars in the parking lot were dented and windows broken.

This was my first really large storm to have my 2 meter Amateur (Ham radio) since I received Skywarn training. Listening to how active things were gave me a new appreciation for all that goes on behind the scenes to bring accurate watches and warnings.
We were spared anything but some heavy rains for periods. The wind didn't blow that bad here either. By contrast, storms about this time last year decimated my trees. My prayers and my heart go out to more than 600 others across the Dallas area who weren't as lucky.

We are ok here in Duncanville, which lies on I-20 directly between Arlington and Lancaster. I don't think we even got much rain. My office is close to Harry Hines and Northwest Highway in Dallas was ok when I left. Until I read this thread, I didn't know there was a tornado at Harry Hines and Royal Lane. That pretty close!
I too hope all other forum members are good as well.

Sitting here watching the line of storms head this way on the radar. Hope all goes well. Nothing we can do really, seek cover if need be. Got the power outage supplies, flashlights, radio. Hope everyone else is/stays safe!!
