... tornado came close but she is at work and ok right now. Sounds like it did some pretty serious damage.

unfortunately looks like some damage at my former high school St. Marks-fellow alumnus Kurt Eichenwald confirmed. It looks like it went just North of Billionaires Row

its rare you get a double-header in Texas. Usually once the first storm moves through the atmosphere changes. I'm about 2 miles North of where the major damage hit. Unfortunately my twin brother lives at the first house from the Preston/Royal intersection which has reportedly been hit hard. He's flying in from out of town right now. Could have a new roommate with my first roommate
