Hope all our members down there are ok! I'm watching the live feed of the twister and it was a scary sight!

Thanks. Here the sirens went off a total of 4 times. We evacuated to the bathrooms and stairwells (4 times ) but all's well that ends well.

This is from American Airlines' Facebook Page;

Following severe weather in the DFW area today, the vast majority of American and American Eagle’s schedule has been cancelled and will not operate tonight. Both airlines also must inspect, per FAA rules, significant numbers of aircraft for possible hail damage - 68 American aircraft and 29 American Eagle aircraft must be inspected. We are working to re-accommodate our customers as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience as we work through this process to return to normal operations at DFW after this extraordinary weather event. We recommend you check AA.com Flight Status at bit.ly/AASTATUS1 for information on your flight.

Jim.
This was a topic of much conversation. I talked to a woman (on the phone because she was stranded) who walked out of her corporate office building, in Las Colinas, and their car windshields were all smashed in from the hail - the bodies of the cars were pock marked too. This wasn't even in the eye of any of the tornados. So, if the airplanes took this kind of battering, I can appreciate American Airlines caution. The hail had to be at least baseball size to smash up all of those cars. So, imagine the stress over the body of a large aircraft. Apparently it was pretty chaotic at DFW in a general sense.

That's good then. I know how he loves his garden gnomes, wouldn't want any of them damaged.
