All Access Weather reports via Twitter multiple tornadic vortex signatures. That's something Dr. Greg Forbes noted a short while ago.

Also, WFAA reporting motion to ENE, it's going to get dangerously close to southern edge of Cleburne.

Just saw a freeze-frame on Twitter of someone's live stream, not sure whose it is because it was retweeted.

It's a lightning shot and it appears to show a large, violent tornado. Somewhere between a big cone and a wedge.

Still no warning on the Glen Rose cell? Im shocked, it looks just like the previous one did when it passed through and that one had a confirmed tornado on the ground at that time.

Jeff Piotrowski reporting tornado on ground NNE of Rio Vista.

Reed Timmer says circulation to west of town.

With multiple circulations on radar at times, wonder if there might actually be two rotation centers making contact with the ground?
