Flying out Sunday to Dallas. Let me know if anybody wants to meet up for coffee. I’m regrads to the training location. I think the BSA has a couple places in Dallas but the training on I’m at is in Westlake.
Stayed in uptown before and all things equal will probably try and stay again, but am open to the other places if the house is much cheaper/nicer. Any positives/negatives about the other spots?
Anyone else still without power? Lost a sizable amount of a cedar elm in my front yard. 40 ft branch came down in my front porch/roof. Luckily damage to the house is minimal.
oncor said it’ll be at least tomorrow night. 300,000+ without power i got lucky with just a few branches but there are some wrecked homes in my neighborhood (lake highlands). helped get a massive tree off our street and there is shit everywhere
My old neighborhood in midway hollow was a wreck. Massive trees down everywhere. We had a branch crash an iron fence, but I was able to fix it. Really fucked some people up.
Initial report was one dead (not sure if confirmed) Uptown a bit of a mess but sounds like other areas got a lot more damage. Went for a walk through State Thomas this evening didnt seem too bad outside a few medium sized trees being down.
apparently my sister has a friend who lives there and the friends car is completely destroyed that’s all i have to report at the moment, back to you tom
i was driving around this evening and it’s insane how eerie it can be when the power is just completely out for square miles
I still have power cause I live in the burbs but I hear Oncor is saying Wednesday for a lot of areas now
I fell asleep for a nap around noon. Woke up, heard storms, fell back asleep. Finally woke up around 2 and it was clear and sunny. I had a tailgate tent set up in the backyard that is now broken.
damn. i’m basically forest and abrams. the 10 minutes or so of power this morning makes me hopeful but shit. might have to go stay at my parents
Saw a wreck on Cedar Springs at a flashing four way stop. Can’t for the life of me understand how that happens.
Saw one yesterday at Midway and 635 that resulted in the top of a mustang being peeled back like a can of anchovies
Dogs are at their boarders and we are at some friends a couple miles away. Closest hotel we could find Sunday night was 45 miles away.
They live large at their boarders. Both indoor and outdoor play areas and they run with the pack 10 hours a day. They generally sleep for 48 hours straight when they come home except for eating, pissing, and shitting breaks.
