TVN got EXTREMELY close to one of last night's photogenic tornadoes northeast of Lubbock -- the tornado knocked down power poles directly in front of the SRV! Several teams of chasers were in the same area last evening, and many of them fell victim to the treacherous, extremely muddy roads, so TVN was fortunate to have been among those who kept out of the ditch!

Severe weather is possible again today, from the Great Lakes to the southern Plains. Large hail and damaging winds will pose the greatest threat, although a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Very heavy rains are also expected across these areas, raising the potential for extensive flooding. Check back for updates!
