Tornado

Waxing Crescent Moon

On Sunday, October 20, 2019, a tornado ripped through part of Dallas, TX at about 9:30 p.m. Miraculously, no human lives were lost, even though buildings and houses were destroyed, trees were uprooted, and cars were tossed around like playing cards.

I arrived in the area a few days later and a few days after that, my brother drove me around some of the streets to view the damage. Crews have been repairing utility poles and clearing trees and rubble, but it will be a while before the worst of it can be fixed. So sorry for the people whose homes were wrecked.

The Weather Channel featured this aerial shot

area was devastated.

The Dallas Morning News photographed the
rooftops of Thomas Jefferson High School.

Neighborhoods in Northwest and North Dallas got clobbered.

This shopping center looks like a war zone.

Total loss.

I still don't understand how there were no deaths or major injuries caused by this tornado. It just doesn't seem possible. So crazy!

Peace, Love, and Wow,
