Texas got slammed this week. Tornadoes at Christmas in the DFW area and a blizzard across the panhandle into the New Mexico area. I heard that Roswell NM has 18 inches and is expecting 6 to 8 more as is the panhandle area. I've seen the video from local news stations in the DFW area and the destruction and loss of homes, businesses, and life is dumbfounding. It will be hard, especially the first few days and weeks, but they will survive and rebuild and emerge stronger for it.

My daughter and son in law were in the Mesquite area visiting his folks for Christmas when the tornado came through. One of the tornadoes touched down only 4 miles away. They were very fortunate to have missed the destruction that other large areas saw.

I know Beagle is in that area....I think he's on the other side of the DFW area. I'm not sure who else here is in that area that might have been affected. My prayers to each and every one of you and all the people there.

You didn't have to be hit to be affected. Our town here in Wilson was hit a few years ago with several tornadoes that did some major damage and it was like the entire town was sucker punched. People pulled together and the areas have mostly recovered now. Some things were rebuilt and others were bulldozed into history. No one will ever forget that day and the things we saw and experienced. My prayers go out to the families affected both directly and indirectly.

My daughter had a hard time getting a flight out. So many flights were canceled and she finally made it to NC last night at 2am.

We were so glad our extended family in Texas is OK. Others were not so fortunate.

Keep Texas, and the people affected by this, in your thoughts and prayers.

This video was one of the "small" tornadoes that came through Wilson and damaged Wilson businesses and homes. A good friend, Steve Hoag, shot the video from his work truck. It didn't seem too big until it got closer. It missed him by only a hundred yards or so.

The power of those storms is awesome and devastating. I can't imagine being close to or in a large one.

yep, I live west of where the tornadoes hit, we got storms and a lot of wind, but the tornadoes didn't hit close to us. DFW is a very large area (the "metroplex" is over 9,000 sq miles!).


there are many people in the DFW area affected, however and many who have lost their lives, have been injured and many who have lost their homes and businesses. here is the official blog of the American Red Cross regarding the storms in DFW: https://redcrossdfw.wordpress.com/2015/12/26/red-cross-responds-to-tornadoes-across-north-texas-in-december/

there's a couple of links there, one will help you search for loved ones you've lost contact with in the area and the other will lead you to the Red Cross website where you can donate to help the RC help the victims of the storms

Hi Herb.

The destruction in Texas made the national TV news in the UK this week, despite the fact that most of the news time has been taken up with the catastrophic floods here in the North of England.

Our thought are with all the people who have suffered loss at the hands of these unprecedented weather conditions, on both sides of the Atlantic.

ROG.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
