I'm no storm guru, but do you really think having a garage door would matter with an actual registered tornado? Most of the stuff that skimmed through Dallas was touch and go (jumping). If a tornado wants to make an opening in your home, its going too.

Joplin - we went through there about 2 weeks afterward, it was the worst thing I've ever seen. Really overwhelming honestly....people would spray-paint and/or have signs on the front of their homes (or lot where the home used to be)...."all accounted for", or "missing elderly man/woman", "missing cat, dog", etc, etc. It was crazy b/c we saw areas where every house on a street would be completely gone, but one randomly left almost totally in tact. We also saw this one property that looked as though it had been meticulously cleaned, raked, etc...not a piece of debris, garbage, nothing....all that was left was the concrete foundation, yet it still had the carpet on it.

This is what's left of my GTO

Be sure to hit up Dent Guru...he's good at what he does and can usually save at least your deduct.

EDIT - Also very sorry about your car man.

The guy on the news made a pretty good point. If you notice, most of the houses that are destroyed have no garage doors. Once your garage door is gone, the wind penetrates the house and goes up and through the ceiling and blows out the roof from the inside of the house.

just a shit ton of rain on the north side of denton

Same on the west side, (114/NW Hwy). Lots of folks coming in with hail damage though. We sold out of tarps and car covers in about 30 minutes.

I was thinkingthe same thing. It could depend on which way ur home is facing to how much damage u get.

If the tornado in S. Arlington would have been about 500ft to the east, I would be homeless. The street one block away is demolished, some lost everything.
