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.

I'm in Central Texas and the weather was insane the night before, but as soon as morning came it all cleared out, we're all safe here. and today ended up being an absolutely gorgeous day. An Army friend of mine was almost called out to Houston to help with the clean up, but they called him just before he left and let him know they didn't need him.

Oh yeah, we always get tornadoes, just nothing big enough to get us on the national news

We have tornadoes all the time in Indiana. Pretty scary sometimes. My husband gets really nervous, but storms don't bother me. I guess my son needs the balance, because I want him to be cautious, but not scared.

I don't know how you all deal with the summer humidity. That's is the only thing I don't like about the warmer weather coming. We get such high humidity that you feel it's hard to breath. At least we have air conditioning. I'd rather have the warm than the freezing cold.
