I hate weather hype - especially since this is a true tornado on the ground.

I think person commented later that he was outside eustace to going towards Athens (probably showing 175). Tornado heading North towards Canton at time of video

There's a hill there called Pickens Spur where the FM road cuts to the left and 175 continues to Eustace. Probably there.

Reports of people trapped in debris in northern Henderson County along FM 2709 (whichever the one is that goes from Eustace to 19).

As the storm tracks northeastward, the tornado threat actually seems to be moving southerly, along the cold front line.

That means Palestine, Crockett, Lufkin might be in for a long night.
