The main cell that kicked Arlington's ass came right over the office but dfw airport's top secret anti tornado gun stopped it before it hit us. Tornado started just north of here.
My Si was also hit at work just south east of DFW. Had hail between golf ball and baseball. Few dents on hood and roof. Also found out my new passenger door (someone hit it in the parking lot; picked it up saturday) is not water tight! No damaged glass but I saw many who weren't so lucky.

Fixed it for you.
Picked this one up in our front yard in Euless.
Luckily I had taken the day off to take my kids to drs appts earlier. Got home just in time to cram the Miata in our tiny garage. My other cars got hit last year so I didn't care, but it would have trashed the tin can Miata.
My company here in Coppell got hit worse. 3 people I know got back windows or windshields smashed in our parking lot.

Sorry to hear about all the damage. Glad to hear that no one was hurt.
We watched on of the Garland tornados skip through just east of the plant. It was kind of surreal - my team works in a huge windowless concrete bunker and we have a 1/4 million pound machine on the floor that we could take shelter under so we weren't particularly worried about being hit, so mostly we just stood at the bay doors and watched.

Lots of stories from the guys I work with, but the kids in my class in Lancaster got to stand out back and watch our nader rip through Lancaster and Desoto. Some are from the far west and had never seen one before.
All good at my house. Hope everyone with damage is covered.
My hood and trunk are bad. My hood took the worst of it

I was IN one of the airplanes on the runway at DFW when it hit. The pilot was given clearance to take off but he waived off, not liking what he saw at the end of the runway. We got it good sitting there, luckily on the ground. Needless to say, I am still here. If you want to experience what is like, sit in a 55 gallon drum, give your 100 worst enemies each a ball peen hammer and call them a bunch of names... you have it. Not going to help American Airlines get out of bankruptcy though.
Currently Miata-less... 2007 Brilliant Black NC PRHT, to replace 2006 Winning Blue NC, to replace 2002 SE, to replace 1993 LE #1322 and so on and so on...
For all you who got damage, Groupon to the rescue!

Yikes, missed that. Unless you only have 5 dents, its BS.

We had about 30 folks at work loose windshields. A couple lost tail light assemblies, as well. My '94 isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing from the golf ball-sized dings. No home or personal damage, though, thankfully.
That plane situation sounds pretty scary/deafening!
