As of 7:40 CDT, tornado warnings also in southwest Texas. Incredible squall-line moving eastward. This is insane.
Our friend Simon saw a tornado just southwest of Ft Worth...he told me on the phone that it was a big bowl funnel about halfway down to the ground...with a large dirt cloud underneath it.
Hopefully everyone took cover in time! It looked like everything was going linear...and all of a sudden this tornado producer came out of no where. INSANE!

did you see any tornados when you were around fort worth guys?
Living in Duncanville, TX. I heard the Dallas Thunderbolt tornado sirens going off, I havent heard them in a while. The bottom of the hook/bow echo passed just on and north of me. I saw it reforming on that section with some rotation and a freakishly bubbly wallcloud. It was cool, then I got hit by 65 MPH hour winds.
man, I just realized it is friday the 13. No wonder!
WOTS going on we all gonna sleep now. is it over? i mean really over?? take a look at San Antonio Radar and tell me its over :P ;)
We have a few cloud pics (not of funnle but of wall clouds maybe??) of the Haltom City / F.W. Tornado that hit here tonight on 183/Airport Freeway! And one of a bird that was killed in mid-flight IN FRONT OF MY KIDS from a big Golf Ball size Hail Stone! It was gross and horrifying poor biridie!! Let me know if you want to take a look at them! Wasn't on the ground long but did some damage with saddly, one person fatally injured and at least 5 injured in a grocery store (I think was store!) Glad it's outta here!! Thanks for your awesome videos & pics...we all enjoy your site very much...just BE CAREFUL out there chasing!!
Hi Susan,
Glad to hear you're okay! Very sorry to hear about the fatality...
I'd love to see your photos...and with permission, is it possible to post them on the site?? If so, please email them to me at reed@tornadovideos.net, with the credit you'd like on them.
Thanks!!
Reed
We couldn't catch the DFW storm because of the insane rush hour traffic...A friend of mine, Simon Brewer, caught incredible video of a tornado just southwest of Fort Worth...the video can be seen at Stormgasm.com.
