I wish we were getting what Oklahoma is getting: That is, that big juicy blob of widespread rain. We are on the tail it looks like.

If you have the 5-0 radio app, you can tune into the Denton ARC and Skywarn 146.920mhz stream. They just reported tornado near Slidell.

Thanks, I hope everyone south of I-30 in Dallas county is taking shelter.

Side note the storm in Hood county, spotters reported severe damage with possible injuries. This was the storm near Granbury and currently moving through Johnson county.

Very bad in Hood county. Emergency triage set up and possible homes leveled and mass casualties per local news.

Still rotation showing in south-central Dallas county, though not as dangerous as it looked awhile ago near Arlington.
