Thank you. Eleven of our fellow Dallasites weren't so lucky, but we made it. We were in line for the northbound tornado that turned killer, but it hit Cedar Hill first — the highest point in the county — and "bounced" over us, landing just on the other side of us where it did so much damage in Garland. Because of much experience with this stuff, I was able to predict that behavior, and we didn't even pack our bags to run to the shelter, but that was a small consolation once it began battering neighborhoods to the north of us.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:Hope you're well Shooshie. I was worried about you after the tornado stuff in Dallas yesterday.
Two of the 7 or more Dallas twisters had wind speeds of over 200 mph. EF-4s they were. We monitor these things closely on our iPads and iPhones using a state of the art app called Storm. It was formerly Intellicast HD. I was calling out the weather events minutes before the guys doing the live TV weather cast, 100% of the time. I mention this, because "Storm" is an app that every iOS user simply must have. If you don't have it, download it and pay to get rid of the adds. (it's not expensive) This is an app that saves lives. It even shows locations of earthquakes and wildfires.
In this age of crazy weather changes, not to have Storm on your iOS device is about as smart as climbing Everest without a parka, or traveling cross-country without a maps, GPS, or Siri.
Well, it's starting up again. I've got to get back to Storm and see where we're headed, weatherwise.
Thanks again for your concern,
Shooshie
