Texas Tornado's

Thursday morning around 4am, here in Allen, Texas an amazing force of wind and/or tornado come blasting through our beautiful neighborhood. From the damage to all the homes here, it seems that our house may have been on the side of the tornado, not in the middle. There are so many, many homes that have major damage and our home did not have very much damage at all. Our roof looks like it is in really great condition, considering all the factors!
Brian and I both took pictures of the neighborhood and here's what we saw.

This is our backyard, nothing was in its place









This is a house that had the 2nd floor framed on it the day before...


This is the front entrance, it was beautiful


Front entrance that did have big builder sign

Brick fence around new phase

Home at front entrance by Stacy Road

Drees Model Home

Sotherby Model Home - not even a month old. Brand new!

The Estates side, got hit really hard.
This is the Kitty Hawk Airfield, most if not all hangers were damaged. This plane was in its hanger...

This was a red hanger, with two airplanes inside.

This is common, the chimney is either broken or fallen off the roof with huge holes in the roof.

The front entrance, most of the debris is from the aircraft hangers

Home that backs to the entrance, across the street from the Drees Model home

Our alley neighbors fence, our was just like it. Just sections down.

Across the street from us, both neighbors fences are down

Port A Potty in front yard, this potty was most likely 20+ homes down the street, there is NO construction near this house.

Blue trampoline in front yard, this trampoline was from the folks across the street.


Tonight on the news, the weather center said that Allen did have a tornado. The DFW area had around 6 confirmed now. I completely believe it. When it happened at 4am-ish, I jumped across the bed on top of Brian and we both said "Isabella" at the same time. We ran upstairs and when we opened her bedroom door, she said "Daddy", I was happy she was not scared, and happy she was awake, because we were in for a rocky ride for the night. When we ran upstairs and back down the lighting lit the GREEN skys. It was a wild sight. I am thankful to God that we didn't have any window, structure or roof damage. We very easily could have and should have, bits of our fence were on our patio and next to our bedroom windows. We are so very blessed!!
