| !!! Tornado Just Passed Mere Mile Or Two From Home - Maybe Closer!!! Tornado just came so very near my house - just a mile or so away. Civil defense sirens were sounding. Watching on TV as it came this way, I saw large tractor trailers sans the tractor being heaved all about and crashing down somewhere near Lancaster, Texas(south - southest of Dallas)! It was one of the worst sites I have ever seen! Electrical wires were flashing and large other pieces flying but those huge trailers being lifted up into the air and being thrown through it were probably the worst! The chopper was able to get such a close-up picture that you could see the trailers came from some type of tractor trailer depot or something. You could see other tractors trailers but most just the big trailers parked around a large building and that tornado was just randomly picking up some and flinging them way up in the air live. I have prayed pretty hard at times in life but probably not more earnestly than today! Thank the Lord the thing seems to be calming down some as it is moving on. There are funnels still in the area. Prayer for the people of Texas will be appreciated. I just think when it came through the area south of Dallas it did some real damage. We're waiting for reports.

| Tibbe slept and is still sleeping as I was gathering my football helmut, large pillows, flashlights, radio and cell in the bathroom and praying praying praying. Thank goodness he's not scared of storms!

| Gosh, should have said "sans the tractors" in my OP. Heart beating so fast couldn't think. I might have seen one full rig in the clouds but I saw at least 2 or 3 trailers without the tractors just lifted up like toys from the live chopper shot! You all will probably see that shot on the news tonight or in the morning on network news as it's a sight most never see.

| I had my purse in the bathtub with my other stuff and was going to put my cell & wallet down my bra when the sirens started up again. Put the helmet on, put Tibbe in his enclosed airline carrier with his bigger plush toys for protection and we were going to wait it out and pray!
