Funnel cloud now descending on Dallas
Watching the cloud live on channel 8 news. Amazing.

Those of you who care about us - please keep us in your thoughts. Dallas and Texas haters - you may begin partying.

5. Stay safe. We had a tornado blow through Minneapolis last year
and it was quite frightening. No one was hurt thankfully. All my best vibes out to you in Dallas Fort Worth. :grouphug:

9. That was fun.
I was watching on radar thinking, it's not coming close to us, but I had mistaken DFW for Love Field on the wide view. Once I saw my mistake, it was a matter of the storm staying on the other side of Mockingbird, maybe. I think it may have - it crossed 35 at Inwood, just down the highway. It's visible from Love Field right this very minute.

And we've got two in the area. This one and the one east of the city.

OK, so I was in Nashville for the big tornado that went right over my head, and now this one. Anybody got a good-paying job for me in a city you can't stand? I'm willing to relocate.

27. Yes, everyone in Dallas and Ellis counties alright?
There's been damage, but I think injuries are at a minimum.

28. Just a heavy downpour here in San Antonio. Lots of flash flood
alerts still up, here. Thousands still without power from the hurricane yesterday.

Haven't seen rain that hard in quite a while!
