The sun shines

We awoke today to a bit of fog and then bright sunshine.   After yesterday with all of the tornadoes in the area it almost feels like a sudden viewing of an awesome rainbow.   The damage from the dozen or more tornadoes in the Dallas Fort Worth area is simply terrible.   People have lost their homes and partial wreckage is everywhere.   The most impressive but scary scene was seeing a tornado tossing trailers  hundreds of feet in the air.  The Schneider Trucking Company has those orange trailers that are so visible when you travel the interstates and this was the company's yard where the trailers were damaged.   I could not imagine the horror of seeing that happen in front of you. 

Denton forms the northern point of the Dallas Fort Worth triangle.   Denton fortunately escaped all of the destruction since the storm gradually moved in the north east direction.  We were fortunate and have been formulating a plan of action if such a storm arrives in our neighborhood in the future.   Tornado season lasts through April into May before the real hot season of summer arrives.   We plan to be prepared.   Happy travels.
