Ted & others,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Forney (near my QTH but we're fine), Arlington, Lancaster all took hits.

Forney had maybe 20-30 homes destroyed. So far no lives lost. Cell tower gone.

I don't know the #'s for Arlington or Lancaster. The latter had semi trailers thrown up in the air and back down onto others at a freight terminal.

In the DFW metro there are est'd 45,000 without electricity.

73 & Kind regards,

Lowell K9LDW EM12sr

THAT video is amazing...for those of us that don't experience that kind of weather, the video sure brings it home.

God Bless all those folks...we will pray for you

Ted, K7TRK

Major tornado activity in Dallas - FW area right now.

Hopefully all are safe.

Ditto.

Here's a video clip showing tractor trailers being tossed around like

I suppose the "packet bursts" in the audio are EAS packets?
