Hot Spring Turns Stormy- Tornadoes Hit North Texas

Posted by Dan Satterfield

Some video of the tornadoes that danced across North Texas today. Lots of damage but so far the injuries seem to be minor. That may change as search and rescue crews get to the hardest hit areas. Some videos from folks in Texas who witnessed the event.

Some amazing video from the TWC below showing what winds over 150 mph can do..

and another from North Texas…

The warm oceans are playing a role in all of this and it looks likely we will see more images like this in the coming weeks…

Update:

Greg Carbin at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman posted this image of the tracks of the rotating super cells over North Texas on Tuesday. Strong rotation does not imply a tornado on the ground. You can see the tracks of the most dangerous storms though.
