Went to HS in The Colony. My folks are in Plano and Carrollton.
I’m in sunny CA, so no worries here, but ya’ll hang in.
Looks like the meaner leading edge will push thru Denton/Parker/N Tarrant.
I’m in Carrollton right now. can hear the very distant rumble of thunder. I hate when my Freep sessions get interuppted.
Tornado may be near Flower Mound, per KXAS wx dude.
Another Tornado forming near Comanche heading east.
be safe
Bump for news...Son lives in Tarrant County (SouthLake)
West side of Cowtown is really getting it right now.
I am here in Keller and we just got it really bad. Big trampolines blown out of backyards into the street, more broken tree limbs than I can count and sporadic power failure. Yikes!
Flower Mound?
Nothing too impressive in Arlington. A lot of needed rain and ~50mph wind. My mammoth Live Oak laughed at this storm. Several fires reported around the plex and a few trees here there down...an UPS big rig upended somewhere I hear tell. Some newsy caught on camera what looked like a dirt devil near Flower Mound, but no worries there, really. These well organized fronts that generate storms aren’t nearly as menacing as the helter-skelter rouge cells we see commonly in the Spring...
Yes.
Flower Mound had wind damage and power outages. Winds up to 70-80 mph throughout the area and numerous reports of cloud rotation. We probably won’t know full extent of damage till daylight, but I haven’t heard of anything much out of the North Texas ordinary.
