    Semi-tractor trailers lay in debris left by a tornado which passed through the southern area of Dallas.

    msnbc.com reports, updated at 5:40 p.m. ET: At least two tornadoes touched down in areas south of Dallas on Tuesday, tossing tractor-trailers hundreds of feet into the air and causing widespread damage, especially in Lancaster and Arlington. No deaths were reported, but rescuers were still combing debris.

    Our company fabricated this monument. It weighs over 15 tons of which approximately 7000 pounds are from the galvanizing process. The perimeter of the base is formed with W 10x40 beams which were specially created from recycled steel from the Cowboy's former venue, Texas Stadium.
