turtlehurricane Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Nasty hook on that cell now near DFW. The only upside is that the couplet isn't particularly strong, maybe 70 kt or so. But it is heading right for downtown Dallas, so we better hope this doesn't intensify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonA Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeouch - I lived in Westlake (Roanoke/Keller area) and do not care to remember my truck getting smashed by the softball+ hail in the '95 Mayfest storm! Those areas of Azle, Saginaw, Keller, HEB ... basically northern suburbs. That area also includes the Alliance airport and big Nascar track. The Arlington ballfield is well south of that cell. But the cell in western Tarrant County, approaching Ft Worth, is on path to potentially pass over the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 DFW is going to take the hail core head on That hail core is frigging ridiculous. And the whole storm is rotating, you can see it rotating around the circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Is that new high-reflectivity area near the hook that just appeared a sudden debris core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That hail core is frigging ridiculous. And the whole storm is rotating, you can see it rotating around the circulation. looks like the couplet will pass south of there but wonder how a ton of parked planes take big hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what was odd, but it sure looked like it! Then people stopping on the freeway avoiding the hail.... I'll agree with the Met. there... That is stupid for them to do and I would say it on air too if I saw that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two in closets/interior bathroom, one already at HEB hospital with her children. They all live inside HEB area North of Arlington/South of Grapevine.

upsloper Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That certainly looked like a tornado with that hard edge from the chopper shot. Might be above-ground circulation, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
