Buck Showalter, Family Safe After Tornado Comes Too Close For Comfort

Three deadly tornadoes whipped through the Dallas area Saturday.

Eleven people died, CNN reports. Fortunately, Orioles manager Buck Showalter was not one of them.

Peter Gammons of ESPN tweeted Tuesday that Buck, wife Angela and their family were safe. One of the tornadoes passed two miles from their Texas home, and the family had to spend two hours huddled in a closet.

Buck maintains a home there, as well as in northern Baltimore County.
