Dallas-Ft. Worth being Slammed by Tornadoes
Discussion
Watching this live. Baseball-sized hail in one part, one death reported from that. Looks as if DFW airport is in the path for now. I bet flights everywhere are going to be jacked up for a while.

Utterly unbelievable - never seen anything like it. Seems large parts of the US face risks from weather we can barely imagine. Lost_BMW said:

Over recent years, the T season has become more unpredictable, it is as though the weather system is changing.
The weather in the mid west and south US has been so warm of late - the ground heat rising is contributing to these weather phenomenons.. Luckily Texans are prepared for this sort of thing.

American Airlines has to cancel all operations for the day after the storm trundled through DFW. I guess as they need to inspect all the aircraft AND airport infrastructure for damage from the hail
I was working just north of Fort Worth when the tornado hit downtown back in 2000-2001. I was driving home down the interstate at the time. The radio started making bonkers 'awwooogaaa aaawoooggaaa' noises on all stations.... then cut in to 'this is an emergency broadcast. Tornado warning for the following countys...XXX.... take cover. If you live in a trailer home go and lie in the nearest ditch'....
The tornado went through 'sundance square' and took out about 50% of the glass windows on the main skyscraper. It took many many months for them to get enough replacement glass and there was much talk of it being cheaper to know it down.

With the Gulf not cooling as much as the last two Winters, we can expect a very active hurricane season.I was working just north of Fort Worth when the tornado hit downtown back in 2000-2001.

Doesn't bear thinking about having your pride and joy subjected to weather like that - and for most people, they really don't have a choice. This made it to the front page of E90post.....brand new F30

Only consolation is that metal (or fibre glass) can be replaced, stay safe everyone.
