Yea...I heard they were big tornadoes that have been on the ground for at least 30 minutes. Apparently, the I-20 corridor near Lancaster was hit by one of them. The rain is really coming down here now and visibility has gotten much worse but no lightning at all or wind really.

 

Smaller storm south of Denton now with chance of Tornadoes.

 

starting around the :50 mark, this is just surreal

 

I don't recall ever seeing so many trailers flying around in a tornado caught on film like that.

EDIt: Already posted. That scene of the trucks launching into the air. That was INSANE!

 

I didn't bother clicking the link because I assumed Heypartner's commentary was tongue in cheek.

 

i've been staring at the tv for like 2 hours. scary stuff. i was talking on messenger to one of the girls at our grapevine office, they were heading down to the basement about half an hour ago.

crazy to see 18 wheelers twirl around 100 ft in the air

 

****, Grapevine?! I've got a friend who lives there.

 

I hope you took advantage of the opportunity to drop some 'going down' jokes.

 

I'm currently about 1 mile from Grapevine at the most...we just received a new tornado warning

 

Was that narrated by a 12 year old?

 

cant say that i did. she just called our office, but then hung up and now we cant get ahold of her. ahh!!

 

Keep us updated please. Friend works at a Sprint store near there, I'll be calling him later.

pretty much past the worst of it in the FW to Grapevine area. Still some storms heading into Dallas.

 

sutck in the basement of the office building with hundreds of coworkers....

 

We're going to have to let all those Dallas fans come and stay in the Astrodome.
