Lots of heavy activity in Denton County, so keep your eyes peeled.
You’re welcome.
Thunder, lightning and rain here (by DFW airport), but no hail or tornados. Looks like the ugly stuff is south of Dallas.)
Sure sounds that way...
The AM works as a good lightning detector too! *static crash*
True. Just wish it didn't arrive all at once like this.
University Park is very good (some complain about them being too good) about setting off the warning sirens —> nothing as of yet.
Radar is pretty scary. Grand Prarie, Cockerell Hill, Mesquite and Sunnyvale look to be taking the brunt of it currently.
Take care and stay safe.
praying for my TX FRiends, and others
Just called sister in Grand Prairie . .. in bathroom with the dogs, sirens going off for fourth time.
Dad in Arlington.
Brother and family in Aledo.
North Collin County here.....strong winds, lightening no rain yet
The tornado warning for south-west Dallas County has been canceled, and is now a thunderstorm warning for central Dallas County. Should be about one hour duration.
So far it has been quiet here in Keller. Storms passing north and south of us. Just waiting for one more batch of storms to pass by. I can hear thunder in the distance but as of 9:15 we have been very fortunate.
They just removed the tornado warning for that cell for now...
Tornado south of Cleburne is a monster...
Looks like we’re gonna be alright in north-west Dallas proper. Thanks.
Heard mention of major gas leak found (Hood Co scanner feed)
Thanks. Usually we’re the ones in danger . . . tornado alley of the southeast, near Rocket City USA (aka Huntsville AL) and they’re the ones calling me.
