Checked with Jim in Richardson TX due to the tornados there. He and his 240Z are OK:

"Thanks for checking, all OK. Twisters some miles away, very heavy damage - 100 homes destroyed by EF-4. Eight dead at a major highway intersection when cars blown off overpass. Lots of work to recover.
Jim"

Things got a bit scary the other night. There were multiple rotations showing on radar including one immediately south of my home about 5 miles - headed north! Fortunately it dissipated but the big one about 15 miles southeast hung together and grew into the EF-4 beast. Winds of 180mph, it had a base 500 yards wide and ending up running for 22 miles on the ground. The current estimate is over 1,000 homes damaged including the 100 totally destroyed. At the same time there was an EF-3 in a neighboring community just a few miles west. The twisters formed over built-up suburban cities, the EF-3 was short-lived but the EF-4 got out into open farmland after doing all the damage.

The record heat we had last week - 70 on Christmas day, was the major contributing factor. Lots of moisture from the south and a fast moving cold front from the northwest is a sure recipe for our traditional Texas weather instability.

Frank's concern is very much appreciated.

I hope all in CTZCC have a safe and happy New Year's celebration.

Jim
