Re: Tornado outbreak again today?
So where do we stand on damage right now?
Watched my daughter's softball game, just settling back in.
How bad was Ellis hit?
Protection?

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.
Emergency officials in Commanche County said the city of Protection took a direct hit from a tornado Friday night, but they had no details yet.
Kiowa County officials said a funnel cloud passed directly over Greensburg, causing minor damage. A massive tornado destroyed most of Greensburg a year ago.
Authorities in the counties of Ellis, Trego and Gove also reported destruction. They said crews were out assessing the damage.
Many of the communities suffered minor damage Thursday night when as many as 10 tornadoes touched down.

It's been fluctuating all day, but it seems the squall line is getting itself back together.
