We’re hunkering down here. Saw the Tornado in Lancaster on TV, looks really bad....looking at one band that looks like it’s making a bee line for my area in Denton County.....not going to be a fun afternoon.
my father lives right near I-20 & Cooper in Arlington. He is 76 and doesn’t get around very well and probably too stubborn to go in a closet.
Whoa!
Very nasty nasty weather.
Prayers to all Texas Freepers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.
Been watching on WFAA live stream. That’s a monster!
Fox says reports coming in of widespread damage.. fast moving lines of Red,, That’s a lot of Red on the radar.. folks, be careful...
Dallas Police via 5-0 Radio report tornado moving Northeast toward Bonne-View (?)
he’s headed to his closet and will call me later.
The Dallas tornado appears to have roped out.
Could produce again at any moment, I wouldn’t leave shelter.
Stay safe.
Prayers up! Our Heavenly Father protect all those in harm’s way!
AMEN!
