Historical Storm unfolding in Texas and Oklahoma

a reply to: TechniXcality

Don't go outside, are you mad? Just be careful, for goodness sake. Even if you don't get swooped up, you could get hit with storm debris.

Don't take any chances, this thing looks a bit wild.

Depends on where the tornado is. They tend to be much smaller than the actual warned area.

Let's not risk him though, I've grown quite fond of him.

Im here everyone, im just paying close attention because these tornado's are in my direct area, and thank you i am fond of you too

Unless you live in Witchita Falls.

They get REAL big up there.

Looks like I'm about to lose power

a reply to: TechniXcality

Stay safe!

Holy smokes. That's a rather large system. Is it modeled to continue moving East, SouthEast?? I was BBQ today and actually had to use the AC in my car it was so warm yesterday. Perhaps this front will bring us actual cold weather to Florida, not that I want it.

In any case may good fortune be upon you during this event, and hopefully you are well insured against the worst case scenario. If you see anything interesting, bust out the phone and get some footage (non vertical please)

Watching one of the chasers at the moment he said the twister is at least a mile wide going through Garland on the way to Mobile City

Even with it being night it looks pretty nasty

That walley in Bolivar lost power 3 more times today, kind of odd, we are way east of you and all the extreme weather, just the foot knocking thunder and lightning. Cant imagine what it must feel like where you are.

Stay safe.

That is horrible to hear. It is just the nightmare scenario there. They'll get blasted today and then get the extreme cold tomorrow when they are all without shelter and trying to find and help everyone. With a tornado that large, it's going to be a terrible, terrible time.

Thoughts and prayers to the people dealing with this one. They're going to need every pair of hands that make a difference for them, and the best I can do from here is send them my wishes right now.

Power is out here...we just lost an 80-year old Burr Oak. sounds like some of it may have landed on my roof and/or in my attic. will continue to post as long as my cell phone hot spot lasts. Stay safe!

Reporting temp has dropped in FW to 56 so maybe this will be over soon for Dallas area.

To the person who had tree fall...stay safe. Hope your roof is okay so no water damage.

This sounds intimidating and scary. Please stay safe all our Texas friends.

It's horrible where I am in the SE-US. The temp is staying in high 70's and up to 80 yesterday. Last night it was 80 at 10:00 p.m. The humidity is probably 100% even if it's not actively raining. Even things in my house are wet. If I get a bottle of water out of the frig within a minute it has condensation pouring down the sides of the bottle. It's kinda miserable. People are turning their AC on to try to get rid of some of the humidity. So far I have refused to switch over to AC, but I might have to -- also my roses are still blooming. : o

We are under a constant warning of some kind or another. Floods, tornados, straight damaging winds; gusty winds. Miserable weather. I'm so afraid it will all culminate in giant tornados.

Keep us posted on how you are. I'll be checking in with the weather channel.

Wind wind and wind in Lawton.

Hearing Farmersville next in line for the tornado.

Was just south of me in roweltt 10miles

Now headed for Blue Ridge. EF3 possible EF4

There are reports coming in of injuries homes completely destroy and even fatalities, this situation and storm are far from over, after tonight we will have flooding rains tomorrow and then snow tomorrow night, i wouldn't be surprised if a state of emergency is declared. All prayers are with those who have been directly effected.
