  • We were very fortunate on Saturday night May 25 when a deadly tornado came within a few miles of our house in North Texas. There was relatively minor damage to the structure - a couple of doors blown in, some shingles stripped from the roof - but a lot of trees were damaged. Here's a look at the storm itself (before the power went out!) and a daylight assessment of the damage. I hope you'll consider making a small contribution to the American Red Cross using the link on this page; CZcams is not taking a cut, so all the proceeds go directly to help storm victims.

    FIrst of all, I am glad that you, your wife, and your horses are safe and sound. Yesterday, as I was traveling back to OKC on I-35, as I was approaching Gainesville, I saw where the tornado crossed I-35, and there was twisted metal and wood in the median and along the sides of the road, power lines were down, and there were several crews on the frontage road that were surveying the damage.

    I am very grateful that you do not lose your home but a couple of trees, but I know the Mesquite tree will bounce back. They’re very strong trees and I’m glad you’re OK.

    I'm so glad Y'all are ok! I was watching the radar last night as the tornado was happening, it didn't look good on radar. Then the light of day showed just how bad it was.

    So happy you and Mrs. Runway DFW are okay. The rest, though inconvenient, will recover.

    Yes, you were lucky in a lot of ways, but I know this is heartbreaking, too. Your view has changed forever - yet the birds chirp on. It's bound to cause some trepidation every time another storm comes through. That will take a lot of effort to clean up, and your Runway DFW family will understand if you have things besides plane spotting on your agenda for awhile. Sending you and Mrs. Runway DFW many comforting wishes.

    Glad you did not take a direct hit Walt. Sad how many lost lives and property during that storm Saturday night. We here in south Euless missed out on most of that large hail last night but understand Bedford got hammered with baseball size hail with that storm. It's been a heck of a spring for weather here in north Texas for sure.

    Dang, Walt! I knew that tornado was up your way and you were driving straight toward the storm going home from the show last night. Rough night for a lot of folks, glad y'all are ok and the damage wasn't worse. I had a tree blown down on a car parked out back, in Bedford. All ok, life goes on!

    Hey Walt glad your ok. We are very close to where that tornado went through. We live just south of Lone Oak Rd. Bet we didnt even get a drop of rain just lots of went and power went out. At least you are ok things can be replaced but not your lives. It was a wild night to say the least.

    You know, you might want to get a home inspector to come inspect the house, for things you can't see. I know they're busy, and I know that's a chunk of change. But, just my thought. Soooo grateful to see you're relatively ok.
