We're ducking - one on the ground in Arlington a few miles to the south and it's heading north! The hail is coming down right now and the sirens are blowing.

Appears to have gone north and now heading into Euless. There's one in South Dallas that did some damage and it's now heading up into Mesquite and areas east.
Burleson is far enough west they should have only gotten rain.

A tornado was reported a few miles from us, we had the triplets lined up and ready to go into the interior bathroom in case it made a move closer towards us, but looks like it's petering out now...
Was kinda creepy... We were smack dab in the center of the "hook" of the storm, I went outside, and it was dead silent, no wind, just really calm...
The other interesting thing I'd never seen before, and saw it twice today - Interrupting an emergency weather alert on the radio/TV for a more emergencier weather alert... (Went from Severe Thunderstorm Warning to Tornado Warning, then from Tornado Warning to Tornado Emergency.)

Saw some flying trucks on the news. Hope everyone's okay.

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.

OK here in Arlington. Disco Dave had some nasty stuff going on in Frisco but said he just got a lot of hail. Had a friend text me a picture she took in southeast Dallas near her home with lots of damage and cars flipped.
That was too close. Rain stopped in Arlington - it's over.

Bulk of the violent weather is now easing on to the east of the DFW area. North east Texas, take cover.
We trudge on.
