Town of Forney was the town that the Elementary School that got hit was in. It's a little East of Mesquite.

Yeah, pretty crazy down here. Arlington got hit hard too. There's a video on CNN showing semi trailers flying through the air

Many parents work at sites that were under lockdown during the storm. We were in tuck and cover during the normal release time - and we had a bunch of parents (who arrived to pick up their kids early) with us. The last child was picked up at 5:15.

My husband and sons were sent to the safe areas of their building several times during the afternoon.

Lots of people stuck at the airport. The planes can't leave until they have been inspected.

And the homes - wow! To have both Tarrant and Dallas counties under a major tornado event declaration at the same time is incredible.
