Charles:
Did you sustain any damage in the tornadoes? I've been worried about you.

Mark,
No we did not. After the tornado left Garland, Texas, the initial touchdown spot in Rowlett was about 4000' East of our neighborhood. It crossed Interstate 30 at the Zion Road/President George Bush Freeway. The Bobtown exit, which is our exit, is the exit before Zion.
The tornado was on a course, South to North, in between the two exits when it made it up to I-30. At that point, the President George Bush turnpike has a huge overhead mix of entrances and exits across the Lake Ray Hubbard. When the tornado was confronted with that maze of concrete it followed the curvature of the tallest entrance ramp and went East instead of West.
Scary stuff! Thanks for asking.
Charles
