NWS Fort Worth ‏@NWSFortWorth · Dangerous radar indication of a tornado... 150 mph+ circulation will cross highway 69 between Celeste and Greenville. Take cover now! #txwx

------

My guess is a SIGNIFICANT tornado is occurring between Greenville and Celeste.

Could someone post a velocity screencap of this tornado-warned storm near Farmersville from that weather program that you can log into different radar sites, retrieve their data, and zoom in. I forget the name of it. I used to have it but lost it a year or two ago when I reformatted.

EDIT: This is what I was able to pull from nws site and enlarge. Wish I could recall that program's name!

It's called Gibson Ridge radar or GR radar. Here's a base velocity image from that cell. Strong rotation there.

Why are you still online? You should be taking shelter! That's some strong wind!

I'm fine, were close enough to our shelter

I believe it was 30 years ago today that Paris was hit by a deadly F4 tornado.

Commerce looks to be next in line for this tornadic thunderstorm.

Pete Delkus said the parent storm is INTENSIFYING from his perspective.

Man Denton could get hit with more hail with another severe storm heading that way. What a day they've had today. Around 4 different severe cells moved over that area I think?

Early this morning there was a segment of thunderstorms that moved a row of counties north of Denton county. I wonder if those storms from Cooke and Grayson counties left an outflow to focus all these storms in the northern tier counties of the metroplex?

It was, and it was during the onset of the Super El Nino of 1982. Jarrell was the last F5 in Texas, also the onset of a Super El Nino in 1997.

Commerce should be under cover right now.

WFAA reports that Hunt County Sheriff's department reports that two houses are "gone."

On radar earlier you could clearly see the dryline and cold front intersecting in that area, with storms blowing up right where they met. The triple point.

TWC Breaking ‏@TWCBreaking · 8:14pm: High likelihood of strong #tornado where green+orange meet in Hunt County, TX; moving E thru rural area.

Apparently there are some houses that have been swept off their foundations.

Typically with a triple point you deal with a warm front ahead of it. There wasn't one, with the cold front triple point it's a squall line. These storms fired and traveled over the same areas without a warm front from the dry-line.

‏@NWSFortWorth · Hunt County, near hwy 69, reports of significant damage to homes, on FM1081. Tornado warning continues, if near this storm, take cover now!

:uarrow: Apparently there are some houses that have been swept off their foundations.

The couplet looks/looked AWFUL.

No way to know until damage assessment takes place, but that would be indicative of a STRONG tornado, perhaps as high as EF-5.

I remember with the Jarrell tornado, first responders found little but bare slabs in the hardest hit neighborhood.

Neylandville is taking the brunt, Commerce isn't far behind in the bulls-eye.

Larry Mowery on channel 11 called it a "triple point". Maybe he needs the weather lesson?

This could be catastrophic if a strong tornado is on the ground. It looks like it is moving into Commerce. They may take a direct hit. Hope the students at Texas A&M Commerce are under shelter.
