So...yeah, this is what we were driving into on Saturday, less than 5 minutes behind and trailing it. If we would've left Houston any sooner, we would have been at home when it hit. We rolled up right after it passed over our house. I was driving up the highway while my phone was going insane with tornado warnings, watching the freeway with one eye and the night sky with the other. It's miraculous we avoided it by mere minutes and our place avoided damage, since we were right in the path. My heart goes out to all the people in Rowlett across the lake who caught some of the worst of it.
