🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: MASS CASUALTY EVENT DECLARED IN TEXAS
A violent tornado has hit Valley View, Texas, causing the roof of a Shell truck stop gas station to collapse, trapping up to 150 people.
Rescue efforts are hampered by downed power lines and debris.
I was driving from Dallas to Austin in the middle of the night last Wednesday and went through a very strong thunderstorm with hail. Like close to zero visibility on the road. When we stopped at a Bucee’s afterwards, that’s when I heard there was a tornado in the general area and we probably were close to it.
Wow, thanks for sharing the close call you had!
Must have been an eye opener for sure!
Great story to share, but you would most likely prefer to not have any more of those types of stories…hahaha
For sure! I’ve never experienced storms as violent before moving here, so it definitely was scary. I didn’t even realize there was a chance of a tornado nearby, and was only thinking of the hail wrecking havoc on my car. I definitely never want to go through that again.
Oh, never a good time when you experience something new, that you don’t want to!
Have you gotten some apks/apps and turned on sms/notifications that can inform you of weather alerts around you?
I had to sign up manally so that I can get alerts from my local agencies that handle weather and other events that I may prefer to know about, hahaha
