we came through alright. There was actual tornados on the ground in Collin County. Plano had 2 touchdowns and recorded the area high straight line wind speeds of 78MPH. My Director got a direct hit and his place is tore up bad. The tornados were on a direct path towards me but the storm began to weaken about 10 miles before it reached me and by the time it hit, they recinded the Tornado Warnings saying that the storm was no longer capable of producing a tornado. We had ~50MPH straight line winds at my house. No damage which is good.

5 Blocks away a lightning strike hit a house setting it on fire. The fire dept was on site but couldn't raise the ladder to get the roof because of the lightning. I am not sure, but I think the house burnt completely as they could not fight it effectively.
