The video of the aftermath looks pretty crazy. Truck trailers scattered everywhere.

Stay safe whoever lives in this area.

Uh oh ... weather.com said funnel cloud passed over Rangers stadium and injuries in Kennedale ... that's too close to my people

...turns out my daughter is OK, but one tornado came within a half mile of her house in the GreenOaks area NE of Kennedale, and a tree was speared thru the roof of her fiance's parents' house. Coulda been much worse.

Did anyone else watch the one on The Weather Channel? It was live video and showed the tractor trailers being tossed a 100 feet in the air like they were toys.
