Yeah. Right now it’s out near small towns, cruising towards populated areas quickly.

Looking at velocity it may stay just north of Lipan.

It may miss the northern parts of Granbury but there is some population in the possible path just west of the Brazos river (north of Oak Trail Shores).

All I heard today from local met is DFW had a lid on it and would limit anything significant.

Sure enough I should have know thats when DFW gets targeted.

And all the chasers went north. I was surprised when I saw that it was radar indicated with no spotter confirmation.
