Watching 18 wheel trailers being tossed 50 feet into the air...this is ugly...and more on the way.
Fox just showed a messed up truck freight yard ,, lots of orange tractors and trailers all over tossed and turned all over
WBAP—my fav. talkstreamlive station; finally had to switch to another channel to listen to Rush!
Foxnews.com showing aerial video - lots of tractor-trailers upended and tossed around.
I have good friends in Highland Park near SMU. Are they in the line?
Lancaster got hit about 18 years ago...recall it very well as it passed near my home.
Don't believe so at the moment, but could eventually be affected by the storms in Tarrant County.
one more impulse of the tail of the snake will be going thru in half an hour or less.. that is one long line of nasty weather
Looking BAD out there!
I am going off line
Highland Park is west of the Path of the Dallas Cell and not inside the Tornado Warning.
Apparently, both tornadoes have lifted.
The Dallas VA Medical Center is on Lancaster.
Looks like one’s headed for D/FW airport.
I wonder how they’ll handle all the planes on the tarmac?
NBC5 reporting that Six Flags and Euless are in direct path of a
tornado. Roofs torn off, trucks flipped over and substantial damage in
Lancaster.
Flying J trucks flying around
Those in Euless need to take cover now. Wall cloud near the ballpark in Arlington. Golf ball size hail.
WBAP says it is going to pass directly over DFW airport. Not going to be pretty.
