Neighborhood torn up. No power. So far everyone ok. Nothing to do until rain stops. Waiting to see what daylight brings. Mike...

Worse than I thought. First pic. is across the street. The rest are of mine. I got mostly tree, fence and shingle damage. Two houses are missing large pieces of their roof. No injuries reported. Anyone else in the area that got damage, post here if you wish. mike...

Good to hear everyone is okay. Sounds like you had more luck than some others around you.

It's incredible how much damage a twister can do. You have no idea, unless you've been through one and/or seen the damage 'up close and personal'. If your property got only 'superficial' damage, you are very fortunate. Good luck with the cleanup and helping out your neighbors who weren't so lucky.

Rockwall just got high winds and a LOT of rain. Luckly we didn't see any damage like that. You are very fortunate.

Glad your family made it through the storm unharmed. Hopefully your neighbors in the area were just as fortunate.

Glad to hear that everyone made it through unharmed. I drove through the aftermath (about 5 min after it blew accross the interstate in PA) one time. Cars and 18 wheelers upside down in the ditches was enough to make me realize how fortunate we also were. And to think there are people who chase these things.

Hi Mike,
I'm very glad to read that you're o.k.
I saw a report on the news this morning.... very sad for those families that lost their homes.
I hope they get all the help they'll need to recover.
Regards,
Alan
