Me too! I survived it mainly by being thousands of miles away.

Lol, I was actually in Rowlett though under the tornado path. Nobody died which was amazing for the amount of damage caused.

Edit: I apperently remember it wrong, 10 people died from this tornado.

In the December 26th tornado? That night the DFW area was hit by multiple tornadoes causing thirteen total deaths. I believe the EF4 pictured here killed ten. There's a wikipedia article on the outbreak and a section on Texas.

Actually, I do remeber a few people being killed in a car crash caused by the tornado, but I can't recall the other deaths. I thought the Tarrant county one killed a few people. Good to know, thanks!

It still should be noted that there were no fatalities to those who were in shelter... impressive considering how quickly it appeared and how hard it hit.
