holy shit

[gasps] was that your car?!

if it was not my car i would have labeled the post, "lol".

lol.

oh right... [gotta wake my brain up].

i couldn't believe it. honestly...

Oh no {#basic-ohsnap.gif}. That is awful! bobski you be careful down there! Poor car...hope no one was in them:(

Is this an apartment complex? I sure hope they have insurance...they will need it!

Like this roving report thingy! Your doing a great job!

Man, what a drag!

Wow! That is fricking messed up. Funny how I never noticed things like this when I lived in Austin....

Wonder if that was some of the inferior steel China sent us? Either way OUCH! I bet it is replaced with a better design and heavier supports!

Texas doesn't build things to withstand a foot of snow.  It is NOT SUPPOSED to snow in Dallas--much less 12 INCHES!!!  Sorry about your car.

ouch!! agree with swg...different parts of the country have to prepare for different things...NC tries to prepare for hurricanes best we can, but we don't have basements as a rule to shelter ourselves for tornados...and we don't have a lot of snow removal equipment, so when it snows we just sit back at home, enjoy it, and wait til it melts!!

I saw some of this on one of our news stations here.  Gosh!  Sorry about that.  It is true we don't usually get snow in this part of Texas and definitely not over 12 inches in 24 hours.  I did a post with pictures at our house of the snow.  We were very fortunate that we didn't have any problems.  Some of our tree branches got very heavy with snow drooping down to the ground but, none have broken.    Now, if you lived in the panhandle of Texas this wouldn't be unusual but here in the DFW area it is.  We have lived here for 17 years and have NEVER seen this much snow much less in one day.

i believe it. and you can probably blame me for it bringing it with from indiana.

LOL!  I was just thinking about you and the anyone else with blogster that moved down here from Indiana.  And I thought yep, they brought the snow. LOL!  I kind of like it because we hardly ever get snow and if we do it is usually just a dusting or just flurries.

Really sorry about what happened to your car, bobski. The fact that it never happened before is not much consolation, is it?  What I worry about in Dallas during snowstorms are the overpasses.
