@AlexJLamers — Tough to tell as it’s far away from radar, but I think this is debris getting lofted to ~22kft near Canton, TX. Co-located with strong, deep meso, reported tornado, and consistent column of reduced CC in the vertical. (KFWS, 5:05pm) #TweetForScientists

Van Zandt county has been a tornado magnet the past half decade or so.
