DFW Tornados

05eclipse05 · 06/10/2009, 07:47 PM

Everyone ok from all this activity today? I was at work when the warning and the touchdowns were taking place. It was all right behind us. It was crazy how fast it all happened. I ditched work, and made a run for home. It was an exciting ride back outrunning the damn things... but i made it back alive!

PiMpPiStOl · 06/10/2009, 09:43 PM

I live in Frisco but in Denton county close to Little Elm. We had lots of high winds and a ton of heavy rain.

Our back patio is shaped so it creates a vortex and my heavy gas BBQ grill ended up out in the backyard. The glass table was left alone though

Only damage was some scuffed up grass in my back yard from the grill thank God.

I sat on the patio and watched the clouds roll by. I'm in Irving, so most of it was just north of me... It was pretty cool watching them roll by (fast).

everything is gravy in my hood.....just cant mow any grass today

pp_e · 06/11/2009, 10:48 AM

trees fell down...so im gonna make some money today

02TitaniumGT · 06/11/2009, 11:39 AM

I was at work too when the tornado warnings came out. I work basically just down the street from where Chad (05eclipse05) works. The clouds were wicked looking, loved the green sky too

Looks like we might be in for another round tonight

I was hoping to tint my taillights and rear turn signals today

Lots of branches from trees are laying around all over and the Tom Thumb store in Lewisville called us to make sure we were all ok. They lost power and had a couple lights fall off the lightpoles in the parking lot and a few trees blown over. An apartment complex in Lewisville had a little damage to it but all in all I don't think there was total destruction, just a mess with tree limbs, garbage cans etc laying around.

Holy hell, it's been raining crazy bad for the last couple of hours. It took me an hour to drive home at 11 am from Dallas to Irving

05eclipse05 · 06/11/2009, 01:04 PM

Glad your all alive

Mav · 06/11/2009, 01:12 PM

Now that we have everyone together, how about a Bone Daddy's meet (I know you love that kaboob)?

05eclipse05 · 06/11/2009, 01:13 PM

i get off at 10

05eclipse05 · 06/11/2009, 10:05 PM

Heres a few pics i snagged on the way back to work from my camera phone.

The sunset after the first wave past was really beautifull!

And there was a FREAKING HUGE rainbow. Biggest i have ever seen.

kabob · 06/12/2009, 12:12 AM

I'm all for a meet, it's been awhile! Even if it's at Bone Daddy's

PiMpPiStOl · 06/12/2009, 02:28 AM

Yeah the sunset was awesome after that first storm. I still can't believe people were coming to the grocery store in that shitty weather to go shopping, sometimes you wonder if people are all there

Today has been awesome, almost done tinting my tails and backup lights, will post pics in Member's Rides when I'm done

05eclipse05 · 06/12/2009, 07:40 PM
