The twister went thru this truckyard (Family Dollar distro center?) and literally lifted a dozen or so SEMI TRAILERS and dumped them up to a quarter of a mile away, 5 or 6 of them across a major freeway.
Tornado on the ground NOW. Hutchence? SE Dallas moving NNE.
Live on the Weather Channel, NOW.

Everyone in that area ok? It apparently did serious damage.
I was watching a chasertv cam of the storm and he had to stop chasing because he came across so much damage that he wanted to stop and help the injured. This is just north of Mansfield.
Storm chaser just said it's wrapping back up. Keep watching, this stuff isn't over yet.
Crazy... it looked like those things were being pulled 100 feet in the air.
Looks like a hook just W of the Grand Prarie area.
it was just the downburst. The actual tornado was only like 50 feet wide
Yeah, big hook echo on radar. Looks like another round is going to hit a bit West of the first twister.
You might have been hearing the transformers blowing. They were popping every couple of seconds for about 5-10 minutes while twister #1 was on the ground.
New tornado confirmed by Doppler and spotters.
3 mi South of Euless.
CORRECTION : 3 mi SouthEast of Euless

yeah like 80% of tornado warnings are just precautionary but trucks being lifted in the air is no joke![]()
Hmmm...sounds scientific enough.
Was there any footage of the Tarrant County supercell? That's the one that looks the worst tbh
Anyone ever been in one? One time in the 90s my neighborhood got hit and I thought I was I ed when I was in the center of the house and could feel the air rushing out from the other rooms through the center and up to the attic, but I only lost some roof tiles and had a tree pulled down.
wait wtf? is the one they're showing now live!?
THREE tornados moving into or already in Garland, one is a wedge.
Gladjur ok, brah.
Looks too far south to do any damage in my area, but my aunt and uncle live south a' Dallas, somewhat near Lancaster.
Haha. I noticed it captioned in some of the still shots I saw, so that's what had me concerned.
DFW airport about to get jobbed. Ground stop for all planes, and the employees have taken shelter.
Christ. DFW must be chaotic right now.

HUGE wedge live right now via StormScapes chase cam.
Is that in Garland? TWChannel mentioned a wedge there.
tbh whenever it's just a long line of storms, like DFW often gets, Tornado Warnings are never anything major, just slight circulation.
Isolated supercells like these should be taken serious
