Tornados

Meteorologist Andy Hill predicts Marshall is about to get hit. Based on a rapidly increasing spinning supercell moving towards Marshall.

 

Mineral Wells. Big Straight line winds up to 70 mph. Headed towards Weatherford and Ft Worth.

 

Storm passed through Mt Vernon and is producing another tornado near Lakeview and Talco. Big one.

 

Looks pretty wicked on video. Big bad tornado. Multi-vertices. Over forest, farms and ranches. (For now).

Debris and trees flying around.

 

Northern suburbs of DFW are in the track of some nasty straight line winds coming in soon from Pablo Pinto and Parker Counties and moving East. Up to 70 mph.

Insurance adjusters are downing shots of tequila right about now.
Re-Insurers are gulping down their gin and tonics.
And one old man in Omaha isn’t very happy.

 

Marshall—get to your closets or bathrooms.

 

Fast rotation entering the West side of Marshall right now.

 

For now, it’s been those isolated supercells causing most of this trouble.

 

Tornado sirens in the metroplex.

Mostly big straight line winds

 

Worse in the northern DFW area than central or Southern so far.

 

50,000 without power in Tarrant County.

 

Dallas tornado warning. Includes central Dallas.

 

South Dallas getting hit. Tornadic rotation moving East-Southeast. Probably will go South of downtown, but you never know.

 

Tarrant County suffered lots of very high straight line winds knocking trees down and power lines over.

DFW area estimates around 100,000 have lost power. Hopefully, they get it back soon.

 

Tornado sirens in downtown and uptown Dallas.

 

Dallas getting slammed with what Tarrant just got.

80 mph winds at DFW airport.

 

People on tv and radio need to learn how to pronounce "Bogata."

 

"Destructive winds" in Collin County.

No kidding Mr. Meteorologist.

 

NW of Austin.

Tornado in Lampasas area.

and rising...

 

Trucks knocked over

 

Sirens going off in Collin County for past 30 mins
Even if no tornadoes the meteorologists do an incredible job
I'd rather be ready to go to my safe shelter
And not have to go than be dead
For now it looks like we dodged one
Thanks All the meteorologists.

 

NE Texas got the bulk of the tornadoes.

DFW got the 60-70 mph straight line winds and 189,000+ without power.

 

Los Angeles got hit by a tornado.

 

I was reading yesterday that warm temperatures in the Gulf could (possibly) result in a more active tornado season in the South this spring. Of course there are other factors, such as the amount of wind shear (has to be not too little, not too much), and a La Nina weather condition in the Pacific.

 

This is one of the few areas where you might look to (certain) OU grads for special expertise.

 

Mississippi got slammed today. Tornado Alley has moved South and East.

 

Well, La Nina has ended. We are now in ENSO neutral.
