We all know the storms in Texas can get big. Winds that were just shy of tornado strength, and perhaps stronger, ripped through the roof during a rookie mini camp practice. Between the falling debris and trying to get out alive, special teams coach Joe DeCamillis Broke his back and 11 more people were hospitalized. "I saw it coming down and didn't have time to react," secondary coach Dave Campo said. "I hit the ground and was able to get back up." DeCamillis who was just hired a few months ago, is likely to need surgery to fix his back. Winds were clocked at 64 mph, a single mph shy of tornado level. An Irving police spokesman said there was hardly any damage beyond the Cowboy's Facility. The building was pretty much a 100- yard football field with a few more yards of clearance all the way around. The roof stood 80 feet high, the equivalent of an eight-story building. There were 27 players not to say all the coaches and media and grounds people that were in the building when it went down. They are all very lucky to only have one major injury.
