Thats not funny, please don't take chances. These storms are ripping homes and buildings apart, they are talking about rain wrapped tornadoes and they are so dangerous.

Collin and Denton counties are going to be under the gun until this evening, these are multipal storms, so get to a safe place now and ride it out my friend so you can live to report tomorrow.

Tornado on ground Trinity mills tollway.

In all seriousness, my bedroom is the safest place in the house. central with a stone bathroom inside it.

Quick Update: The sirens are wailing, the skies are darker, and I can see state troopers forcing everyone on the interstate to pull over to the side. My mother, and my brother are both being held in storm shelters at work/school.

My thoughts to all those who have been in this monster's path so far.

People sheltering in place at a rest home even though it is partially destroyed. One patient was reported injured, it is so serious.

Thank you for your prayers...but in all honesty my family is going some serious s*** recently. This is more like a bad day.

We all are, this is just shocking and was one of those storms that they just did not give a good heads up for, that is when it is the worst case scenario. I meant we all are hoping for the best for your family. Check back ok?

I hope everyone stays safe.

Hanging in here...no twister in sight.

However we did just get roughly six inches of rain in less than five minutes.

Non-local Update: A twister has touched down in the city of Campell. Thoughts with them. Also, the Mayor of Arlington has officially declared a state of emergency, to last up to seven days.

There is a live feed video and chat at myFOXdfw
Also, at this thread there are more video links and links to live twitter feeds.

My mom spoke with my brother a little while ago, and he said so far so good. The we saw the storm headed east of their home, so mom called my sister-in-law. She said it was hitting hard and her & their dogs where in the bathroom.

My brother works for a shipping company so when I saw all those trucks scattered like toy blocks, I freaked out!

Please everyone, stay safe. Just keep an ear on the news for the latest alerts.

Its a twista, its a twista!

In Texas they are actually pronounced "tar-na-ters".

Freaking hail scared the heck out of me as I was driving home.
It literally sounded as if someone dropped a brick on my hood.
Five seconds later, another one, then another and another, like corn popping kernels going off.
Time to call my agent, again.

My family are good....they saw it a few miles down the street and say it was an F4. Good luck to everyone in the storms path and man...
can you say praying this settles down sooner than later.

Also, I sure hope we here in TN do not get the tornadoes....bring on the rain but no tornadoes!!

Well, the sirens have stopped, and traffic is slowly moving. That said I am a cautious person, so no lawn darts just yet.
