    We just got hammered here in the DFW area. F-3 tornado just went right down my street here in Arlington. Just got done evacuating here at work. Going to try to head home to see if it is still there. All I can here are sirens. Doesn't look good.

    Man hope everything is OK. I hadn't heard about this yet. I lived in that area and have lots of friends in Arlington still. Prayers sent.

    Good luck man, prayers sent. We suffered through that nearly one year ago when a F4 leveled a good portion of my hometown. One year later and we still have visual reminders.

    Everything fine here on my end. It lifted right before the ball park. South Arlington is pretty tore up. The mayor has declared the city in a state of disaster.

    Glad to hear that. Spoke with a few of my friends and it sounds like they are all OK. Waiting on word from Arlington Cigar on how they are doing. Used to spend alot of time in that shop.

    Glad everything is ok.

    I'm getting hit with the same storm system as I type this. The house is rattling. The cat is freaking out. The wife is too scared to leave work right now. Fun night.
