Severe WX March 21-23 2022

Elgin is definitely in trouble.

This is currently an understatement because the Jacksboro tornado is logged as straight line wind damage.

 
The rest of this outbreak will unfold in a gigantic radar hole unless KGRK can be brought back online...at least it wasn't totally destroyed per photo relayed by @andyhb .

I'm willing to bet that the storm simply damaged the communications lines for the radar (i.e., the radar's still running, but data is not flowing to or away from it), which is eerily similar to what happened to the Huntsville radar on 4/27/2011.
 
This is a terrible day for Texas. Multiple populous areas having had strong tornadoes run through them…I’ve been having to make calls all evening to friends down in central Texas to make sure they’re okay.
@Austin Dawg are you okay?
 
The FOX affiliate is showing the damage in Round Rock that you guys posted crossing 79 of roof damage, cars with windows blown out and a couple flipped, and tree damage.
 
KXAN is showing severe damage to a manufacturing facility in Elgin. Apparently their chasers got stopped because the cops closed off US-290 because of that damage.
