Any video or pics of the Texas tornado?

I thought that too, but it looks like its in the BWER. It's definitely down though.

Did you see the ones earlier back?

I apologize, I’m on mobile so I’m not sure how large this will be, but this is the AFD discussion from Ft Worth as of about 6:40 PM. As of the moment, the tornado watch hasn’t been extended east. The mets may just be waiting to see what happens.

Looks like per NWS the further east this goes the more it will weaken

Grinnell definitely took a devastating hit, spoke to soon about the dissipation.

What likely happened was that the tornado weakened in the upper portions but remained strong in the levels undetected by radar since it was in a bit of a radar hole

That honestly looks high end EF3, low to mid EF4, depending on how well constructed the houses were built.

So what have I missed? Has the Grinnell Kansas been the only devastating tornado?

If there was some of the Texas tornado warning right now, then no. Was wondering if there was any chasers on it

Pics of Texas wedge pages back but not current one

Gonna go out on a limb and say the cell in Nebraska has produced the most tornadoes in a row.

This Texas storm needs to stop doing what it’s doing soon, otherwise there is going to be a major disaster on our hands.

TORR extended into juuust west of the DFW metro. It better not...

 

[TornadoFan]

Not liking this at all.

 

[jiharris0220]

The more pictures that come out of Grinnell, the worse it looks.

 

[tornado examiner]

So, why would that one not drop a violent tornado? Just saying it now…to me, it has no reason not too. So if it doesn’t, I’ll be very confused.

They've added a PDS Severe Thunderstorm Warning, with baseball-sized hail expected on this cell.

Man, that thing is aimed right at the Fort Worth radar site.
