Looking at the precip radar forecast on the weather app, appears most of DFW wont't get the the "extreme" precip. Those northwest of the metroplex I hope yall stay safe

The cell near Benjamin and Rochester, TX back to the southwest of Wichita Falls is very nasty. May be the first really big one of the day. Confirmed tornado with that one.

Been watching that one since it fired. Looks nasty, and nothing to disrupt it before Wichita Falls other than cycling.

There's a little bit of a TBSS from the hook area. Can't tell if it is due to the hail yet.

Probably a good thing the Thunder/Pelicans series is in New Orleans right now, wouldn’t want a repeat of the 2008 SEC basketball tournament

There’s a lot of open country where it is, so hopefully it missed Knox City and is an open field.

The spike may be from hail getting wrapped into the meso. Nasty either way.

Reports that it passed north of the city. However, still no pics, which always makes me wonder if there is really something on the ground.

There hasn't been a strong CC drop like you'd expect from that couplet.

If there’s an f5 headed straight for your house, it’s 30 miles away, and you have no basement should you hop in the car and head east if roads are clear.

I was debating at work during yesterdays storms.

Yeah, just came off the river in Hermann, Mo. 45 minutes ago it’s ridiculously calm and sticky for April. Sky has turned into that eerie orange and we were like time for portage. It’s hours away according to radar, but man if you grew up around here you know something’s up. Spidey senses - pucker factor high.

That's a very difficult question to answer, and the answer is different for every single person.

If you know radar and can navigate according to that radar, with the type storm you mention......yes, leave if you have time. Those IFs make all the difference in the world, though, and can literally mean life or death.
