The storms south of it are racing towards it. Hopefully they can cut it off before it reaches the town and interstate

@CC_StormWatch — There are #tornado shelters at the rest areas at Mile Markets 281-282 (both directions) on I-35 near Salado. If you know someone on I-35 heading that way, tell them to park there and get in there. #TXwx

Re: Texas Spring 2022
@MyRadarWX — Some encouraging news — the tornado has now taken a left/northward turn, ordinarily a sign that the twister is beginning to approach the end of its life.
That said, the storm could “cycle” and produce a new tornado. Remain sheltered if near Salado.
Been ongoing for 30+ min.

Looks like Salado may’ve just dodged a bullet. That north hook at the end has me worried for Belton & Temple though

Re: Texas Spring 2022
@NWSFortWorth — 610pm: The tornado over southern Bell county appears to have lifted. The tornado threat has ended for at least the next few minutes, so the tornado warning will expire at 615pm. However the storm remains, and a new warning could be issued if rotation increases again. #ctxwx
