Eagle Pass got hit hard, 10 dead, 7 on US side, 3 on Mexican side: http://www.cnn.com/2007/WEATHER/04/2...ths/index.html
Check out the pictures in the gallery. Lots of destruction. The neighborhoods affected are very poor, so hardly anyone had insurance. The Red Cross is calling for donations and the governor is trying to get federal assistance, but the feds don't care too much about poor border towns.

Eagle Pass is 250 miles from us.

I had read about this on the internet. I didn't realize that you were so close to it. I'm glad that you're alright. I was surprised because I didn't realize that you had tornados that far south and into Mexico except with hurricanes.
