Please say a good thought for everyone who left AT&T and are in traffic. Tornado headed straight up that freeway.

Dem Boys fans are probably mad enough to fight a tornado right now.

Woah. Imagine leaving an LSU game and having a tornado heading your way. Daggum, should've left at the half.

That's an EF0 tornado. A dangerous story in theory but nothing more than a headline grabber.

We were just on the outskirts of it. Sirens went off and we waited in the interior bathroom for about 20 minutes. Another band is coming through now.

yeah... but a stadium of 100,000 people emptying out and any kind of tornado should spur concern... esp since they don't know it's an EF0 until after it disappears

8:58 pm, and we're hearing that it will still be another hour before they start letting people out of AT&T Stadium, per security.

It's a mess out there. A few tense moments in Grand Prairie as a tornado was confirmed.

Edit to add: Just have to get through the squall line now, which brings 50-60mph gusts and heavy rain but no real threat of tornado.

20 is BAD right now. Just made it back from Dallas. Avoid it all costs.
