Spotter 2 miles south of Pilot Point reporting power flashes in the city.

Extremely heavy/slow traffic on I-35 near exit 483 where the tornado crossed.

Same spotter says a secondary funnel following the tornado.

Well, dangit.
TOR-E would be useful right about now... or 10 minutes ago.

Thought it was at first but it appears not to be. ZDR indicates it's not debris.

35 is closed.

Couplet looks to have just stalled or moved slightly north.

That's not a satellite tornado.
That's a twin.

Ft Worth just stated this.

The old circulation has turned more north and it looks like a new circulation is developing ahead of it.

Seems like it. A probable second tornado is forming east.

So confused right now..

 

[kcyalater]

what even is this storm???? WOW

HRRR got a lot wrong today, but it showed a pretty consistent signal for a monster cell to track near the metro over most runs. I was really hoping it wouldn't come to pass.

I see it up to 66kft, but not 70kft. Still absolutely insane.

From Grayson County ARES:

Power flashes east of 377 from first tornado. 2nd tornado over 377. Spotter is at 377 & St. John road. Tornado is approximately 1 mile north of their location

 

[Clancy]

Probably two tornadoes ongoing now on either side of Pilot Point.

Yep, two areas of a TDS are evident. A third tornado is also trying to form near Celina, TX.

 

[Clancy]

And just like that, likely strong tornado east of Pilot Point.
