It's coming through Houston later today. You oughta be OK.

There were 2 in the Dallas area... one to the south and the big one later on in Rowlett and NW Dallas burbs. That second one was on the ground a LOOOOOONG time (20+ minutes). Very hard to see at night in the rain.

Here's coverage from one of the weather channels with fairly good video from a distance: 12+ minutes of the tornado on the ground


CNN coverage of the aftermath


ETA:

Fox Local News with after vid of the vehicles hit on the highway


Evidence of its path and amount of damage becoming clearer in (still cloudy) daylight...

This is 12 miles from our home, too damned close for comfort.

Crazy arse Texas weather
