Storms

 

Shown here is just one of the homes destroyed by what was considered to be high winds.  Rockwall, Tx became a target when bad weather came through Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning.  The storms left a path through more than one State, and many locals are without power according to reports.  

We visited the area in Rockwall, Tx, yesterday evening, and was unable to go to the actual area, because security was enforcing the possible threat of looting, from people who do not live in the location.  

Midland, Tx suffered a tornado, while these storms were passing through, and other areas here, sustained damage from the high winds, as well.

Putting Up The Main Sign

 

It's hard to believe that just a year ago, this was all pasture land.  Off in the distance you see a crane, placing the main sign atop the posts along I-30, in Royse City; TX.

 

Here's a closer look at the new sign, and the large cranes putting it in place.  November is the projected month the new store will open.  Our town is so ready for the convenience.  I'm still waiting to see the gas pumps being installed for the USA Murphy's that's coming along with Walmart.  We won't need to drive all the way to Rockwall, TX to get decent groceries or cheaper car gas.

Walmart Sign

 

There is the first sign to be put up, but it's not the big one which will soar over the north side of I-30 at the front entrance of the building.

 

As you can see the front has many of the location signs for different departments mounted on the front of the building.

 

I understand that Walmart is already taking applications for jobs, before the store is ready to open in November.  In the foreground you see sodded grass being watered, so I am wondering where the USA Murphy's gas pumps, will be installed?  From the looks of things, it may be on the east side of the building near the entrance on Irby Campbell Blvd.

WalMart Sign

 

Here we have the posts already in place for the big Walmart sign to be installed.  You know, it's one of those big signs you see along the interstate highways, letting you know where there's a Walmart store?  Ours is almost ready and they will be opening it in November of this year.
