Local news here in Dallas just showed an aerial shot of what used to be an RV Park in Garland Texas that was destroyed by last night's tornado. What used to be RV units are now crumpled, twisted masses of metal and splintered sticks. Several were thrown into a nearby lake. This is near Interstate 30 and Lake Ray Hubbard. The Bass Pro Shop is nearby. Any idea which RV Park this could be? It looks like it was about 1/2 full. Keep these people in your prayers.

Here's where all the tornadoes touched down.11 deaths, 3 tornadoes. :(""The damage in nearby Rowlett was from an EF-3 tornado, which has typical gusts of between 136 and 165 mph.""An EF-4 tornado, which typically has wind gusts of between 166 and 200 mph, was responsible for the destruction in hard-hit Garland, the National Weather Service in Dallas-Fort Worth said.

That's awful. Prayers to everyone involved.

Not sure if I can hot link, but.from CNN:

From the TV helicopter footage, it looks like Plantation Place RV 345 Barnes Bridge Road, Sunnyvale, TX.RV Reviews - Plantation Place RV it is right near the Sunnyvale/ Garland city limits line.Used to drive past there, through the worst damage area, frequently. It is mostly full-timers, with relatively few transit rigs. Does have some winter Texans.Looks like it was the first place hit when the tornado touched down in Garland.---We were sitting at East Fort COE Park on Lake Lavon. We and several folks moved to the bathhouse when the tornado wave got close. I saw something which might have been one above the ground a mile or so to the east. Just a glimpse.When it came back down in Copeville, it was just three miles from us across the lake. There is a worker RV park just a couple hundred yards from the intersection where the two people died. No damage reported there or the Lavonia COE Park which is less than a mile away.
