What a day..
I knew big storms were coming in when I checked the radar when I had access to a school computer in my Web Mastering II class 2nd period. I didn't know exactly when they would come in. I estimated a couple of hours, and they came in right after the end of 3rd period. Luckily I left my school quick enough to avoid being held in my security (Because they stop anybody from leaving if severe weather hits). I live very close to the school, about a 1-2 minute drive and when I stepped out of my car, the tornado sirens began to go off and I was like "TORNADO!!!" in my head. Or course, I headed inside my house as quickly as possible, turned on the TV and switched it to the local news and as expected, BREAKING NEWS - TORNADOES HIT Tarrant and Dallas Country was all the buzz.
The tornado had came very close to my house. When I heard south Arlington, I was very freaked out. Luckily a little bit later I head that the tornado was in Southwest Arlington, I live in Southeast Arlington and the tornado was in Southwest Arlington. I was very lucky, but many others were not.
I wonder what exactly was going down when my school went on Tornado "lock down". I've never actually been in a actual tornado situation and not a drill. I know lots of people must of been freaked out of their minds.
To all those who live in the DFW area, I hope you are ok. I've never before been this close to getting hit in my lifetime.
