Tornadoes in DFW?

[Phoenix]

Seeing that on Fox (foxnews.com) right now:

"Tornadoes Touch Down in Dallas-Fort Worth Area"

[Sam I Am]

In Johnson County. It looks like it's right off i35, though that might not have been i35. (just looked like it)

They are showing it on CNBC.

[PhillyCowboysFan]

I hope all you guys and your families in the Dallas metroplex are safe and unharmed.

[Rynie]

I'm in Irving, and I'm REAL CLOSE to driving around to catch a glimpse of these "tornadoes". Seriously.

[Cajuncowboy]

Praying for everyone in the Dallas area. Some of those things look wicked!

Stay Safe.

[Cajuncowboy]

Looking at the videos, those semi trucks were just picked up and flung around. Praying for you dallas-ites.

[links18]

I heard they were getting close to Cowboys Stadium--but I imagine that thing is pretty much indestructible.

[Cajuncowboy]

All flights out of and into DFW have been cancelled.

[Rynie]

I heard they were getting close to Cowboys Stadium--but I imagine that thing is pretty much indestructible.
You are correct. The Deathstar has a forcefield around it.

[Bwareinrings94]

Be safe my friends.

[CrazyCowboy]

I'm in Irving, and I'm REAL CLOSE to driving around to catch a glimpse of these "tornadoes". Seriously.

Be careful......the folks of Dallas and our Cowboys are in my prayers.

[Cajuncowboy]

I was wondering about the huge glass ends to the stadium. I don't know if they can withstand a direct hit by a tornado.

Not a very strong one...

But I think the one in Arlington has already passed.

[kristie]

my brother-in-law lives in frisco. even though that town isn't under a tornado warning, i'm still worried either way.

[boysfanindc]

Keep your head down and stay safe.

[Phoenix]

My parents are up around Bridgeport (Runaway Bay) area. That appears to be in the danger area as well.

[Sam I Am]

Damn! Check out this picture. It's a semi trailer flying way up in the air! :lmao2:

[zrinkill]

My brother lives in Arlington and was talking to him an hour ago ..... he did not say anything.

Of course he is from Nacogdoches .......tornado warnings here just means its raining outside.

[Cajuncowboy]

Damn! Check out this picture. It's a semi trailer flying way up in the air! :lmao2:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uuvO1vJPK4I/T3tM2CToqHI/AAAAAAAAA8s/4_FxQswRjNc/s469/trailer040312.jpg

Man, there are TWO of them in the air in that pic. Wow!

[wittenacious]

You are correct. The Deathstar has a forcefield around it.
Hope so. Unlike the Cowboys former inflatable practice facility. :( Bad memories there. Hope everyone stays safe this time around.

[fuzzanoon]

I'm in Irving..passed over and now heading north, northeast. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

[Phoenix]

Wow!!!

[Cajuncowboy]

They just said that the Ballpark (Rangers) avoided damage but there is another storm heading right towards it. I know the Cowboys stadium is in the same area.

[RastaRocket]

my brother-in-law lives in frisco. even though that town isn't under a tornado warning, i'm still worried either way.

My mom is in Plano right now (right next to Frisco) and it looks like storms are about to hit them. She didn't sound like they were getting the tornadoes though.

[WoodysGirl]

I was on the phone w/a friend from up there when it passed through.

I sent a mass text to some fam and friends and everybody's good. My mom lives pretty close to Arlington by the stadium and she mentioned just a bunch of hail, so she probably wasn't aware how close it was.

[WoodysGirl]

Damn! Check out this picture. It's a semi trailer flying way up in the air! :lmao2:

My brother drives trucks for a living. If I hadn't already talked to him, this pic would've made me real nervous.

[RastaRocket]

Yep it's across the street

[Phoenix]

Yep, and Six Flags is right there too.

[Cajuncowboy]

Go to CNN.com and watch the video. Holy crap! Unreal.

[Mountaineerfan]

hope your all okay!

[WoodysGirl]

Talked to my Mom and she said, "there was alot of hail hitting the house. I thought it was gonna break the skylights. Me: "Mom, that was the tornado passing over you."

Just talked to my brother and he's in Grand Prairie at the shop for his 18-wheeler. He was standing outside and I could hear the sirens blaring in the background. He said it just passed Mansfield.

Allz I know is I'm glad my people are ok and Mom is oblivious.

[wittenacious]

That's just an unreal shot! OMG. Hope there are no major injuries or casualties to anybody caught up in this.

Safe is always a good thing to hear! Just talked to my Dad in Bridgeport and they are pretty oblivious to what is going on too. "A little rain is all" :)

[burmafrd]

I know a couple of people in Tornado Alley and if it does not come closer than 10 miles they hardly notice.

[bigE79]

I hope all you guys and your families in the Dallas metroplex are safe and unharmed.Ditto...be safe people

[WoodysGirl]

Her obliviousness cracked me up. "It was just hail, baby. It's ok."

It just concerns me, because if it's heading through Arlington again, then she's in the path again.

But she said she knows what to do. However, I won't be happy until it's all over.

[cajuncocoa]

Hope everyone in D/FW are OK....I'm praying...

[DallasCowboysRule!]

I have a terrible feeling that this is the beginning of a bad tornado season. The unusually warm winter makes me think this Spring could be a bad one.

Stay safe everyone.

[Faerluna]

Talked to my Dad in McKinney and he said the sirens have been going off but they haven't seen more than some rain.

[Sam I Am]

How's that funny?

Beyond hilarious.

[Chocolate Lab]

Truth... Actually a lot less than that with today's radar technology.

[cowboyeric8]

Here is a video from the dugout at Rangers Ballpark recorded by Mike Napoli. http://www.twitvid.com/0UHCX Can't really see much.

Two sisters in the area and both are just fine.

[danielofthesaints]

Classes cancelled at UT-Dallas. :D

Friend just posted that 23 tornados have touched down in the DFW area.

[JonJon]

Not sure of the area, but Twitter reporters are growing that a tornado has struck Forney High School & Crosby Elementary School in Forney, Texas.

I heard Forney was hit pretty hard. Hitting a elementary and high school. Hoping no one was inside.

Oh God. Please let those schools be evacuated before the hit.

that's the next town down the tollroad and things are ok here. stormy but not tornado stuff.

[joseephuss]

Oh God. Please let those schools be evacuated before the hit.

There have been different schools under lockdown in the area, so I doubt these two were evacuated. Probably still safer in the building than outside or in a car in that area when the tornado touched down.

[The30YardSlant]

How's that funny? Hopefully everyone in the Dallas area is ok.

How are flying 18 wheelers NOT funny?

[iceberg]

its headed at you or your family?

Shoppers in malls moved into basements, employees at Cowboys Stadium ushered into tunnels. #TXtornado

Ashley Sewell ‏ @TXTrendyChick
Arlington tornado 2 miles SE of Cowboys Stadium.

@judybattista It actually was a little too close for comfort. I live near Cowboys Stadium. South Arlington got hit hard by a tornado.

If you're in #Dallas and need to take shelter from the tornadoes head to Cowboys stadium. No touchdowns ever happen there. #fb

[Romo_To_Dez]

Hope that all of the Cowboys fans and others that are in that area are in a safe place and are okay. Looks really bad from what I'm seeing on the news:(

[links18]

Those shots of the trailers in the air are simply apocalyptic. :(

Wait don't tell me: We are going to have more touchdowns from tornadoes this year than we will from our offense. ;)

[The30YardSlant]

its headed at you or your family?

If I gotta go, I can't think of a better way to exit. How many people can say they got taken out by the aerial acrobatics of a six ton trailer?

[5Stars]

that's the next town down the tollroad and things are ok here. stormy but not tornado stuff.

Iceberg, would you know where or about where Tillman Street
Dallas, TX 75217 is? Would that be anywhere close to the tornado is?

[iceberg]

Iceberg, would you know where or about where Tillman Street

from looking at the maps, it's SE dallas. most of the storms i believe were SW dallas and up.

Thanks...my brother lives on that street and I cannot get through to him on the phone. Maybe some line is down or something.

it's quite possible. i can't say for sure but i don't think that area got hit. nothing i've heard where tornados landed were that close to the area.

hope all is ok for your brother!

[JonJon]

Or if it's a cell phone, maybe one of the towers got hit. Hope everything is ok though.

Thanks Iceberg...I keep forgetting how big that area is down there. He's probably not home is all.

i have heard that phone call numbers are way up so it may just be a volume problem. hope all is well

[5Stars]

Funny you said that, because I tried a land line and a cell phone...the sucker is probably not home, or he's ignoring me because he hates the Cowboys and he owns me some coin.

:cool:

[5Stars]

Thanks, Poke...I'm sure he is fine if the tornado is not way down South East.

[reddyuta]

I am just watching the news and Lancaster seems to be hit pretty bad.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

I just remembered I have cousins who lives there.

[scottsp]

Working in Las Collinas, many a car were creamed by hail in our lot, mine included. But no twisters up there, no one hurt.

Hope those folks down south are okay.

[DFWJC]

We had to take cover, but everyone is okay in our immediate area.

I heard Forney was hit pretty hard. Hitting a elementary and high school. Hoping no one was inside.

Thanks, I have an old co-worker who owns a home in Forney.

Check-in time.

..Texas Granny Won Tug-of-War With Tornado Over Grandson
By KEVIN DOLAK and ALYSSA NEWCOMB | Good Morning America – 11 hours ago


A Texas grandmother explained today how she piled three children into a bathtub to survive a rampaging tornado and hung on to a toddler's feet as the twister tried to suck the boy into its vortex.

When the nightmare was over the house where Sherry Enochs was holed up was little more than "wood and debris piled up," she and three children she was babysitting were covered in mud and Enochs had a nailed speared into her foot, but they were alive.

Enochs' story is one of the more remarkable ones to come out of the Texas tornadoes that triggered remarkable destruction, but caused no deaths.
