Sky sure turns a spooky color when one of those things is around -- looked like spun gold, with a greenish cast.
Just heavy rain, wind and golf-ball size hail where we are.
Almost exactly halfway between Dallas and Texarkana, driven that route to and from DFW several times.
Funny thing is it’s on TiVO - he just has to watch it “right now”.
Delkus getting busy on Channel 8.
NBC weatherman is horrible. Sounds like he keeps stuttering. FOX affiliate is better. All ok so far here in Mesquite.
Keep us posted. Stay safe.
I hate that this thing is moving so SLOW!
Yes, that funky green sky is a scary thing. I’ve seen it a couple of times although nothing that hit my house. But close by, too close.
Looks like we are about the get hit again from the rear flank..stay safe my FRiend!!
Granbury is in real bad shape.
Kids....gotta love 'em :-)
Tornado warning for Dallas County just cancelled.
Prayers for those south & west of the Metroplex - Johnson, Ellis, and Hood counties.
You two know the drill. Stay safe and check in with us as you can.
Sounds really bad on scanner. I heard people screaming on scanners little while ago...real bad.
Prayers needed!
These things normally split around us here, but if those northern cells and southern cells spin together, I got trouble.
We should know by midnight.
Skirted just south of here.
Just a week ago we wondered where spring was.
Prayers for those in Granbury and Cleburne. Spotters at one point reported a wedge funnel about a mile wide.
Unbelievable.....yet another severe thunderstorm warning for Johnson County. Golf ball sized hail — winds 60 mph. At this hour!
Prayers... been watching ... Please Lord let the responders get to those trapped. In Jesus’ name I pray.
My stomach is telling me problems for Midlothian and Waxahachie.
