We had a close call last night. A huge storm with hurricane force winds ripped through central and northern Texas, with gusts over 85 mph. Our corner of south Dallas was not spared and many trees were either uprooted, split or snapped. This morning we noticed a cedar tree that split in two and nearly smashed our neighbor's roof. Hopefully we'll have electricity by this evening. At least we have candles for tonight. Our mobile home is fine, just a few chairs blown over. Even our newly planted flowers made it through in good shape.
