Yes that is right.

Euless tornado appears to have crossed the SE side of town, probably south of 183 freeway.

Looks like it missed HEB, Hurst, Euless, Bedford. Sups went either side of HEB. However a friend in Arlington, south of I-30 reports house damage. They are OK after sheltering.

From Jeff:

Two supercells have produced large destructive tornadoes across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Extensive damage has occurred across the SE side of the City of Dallas and in the corridor from Arlington to SE of DFW Airport. One of the tornadoes may have been up to ½ of a mile wide at times and on the ground for over 30 miles.

WFAA Footage from Helicopter via CNN of 18-wheelers being lofted in Lancaster, TX:

Tossing tractor trailers like they are feathers. Has to be an F3 at least?

SPC AC 031958

DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0258 PM CDT TUE APR 03 2012

VALID 032000Z - 041200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM ERN TX...SERN OK INTO A

PORTION OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER A PORTION OF THE OH

VALLEY...

...NCNTRL THROUGH NERN TX...

GREATEST TORNADO THREAT WILL PERSIST INTO THE EARLY EVENING OVER

NCNTRL AND A PORTION OF NERN TX AS DISCRETE STORMS DEVELOPING IN

WARM SECTOR MOVE NEWD AND INTERACT WITH A STATIONARY E-W ORIENTED

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THE 0-2 KM HODOGRAPHS ARE LOCALLY ENHANCED WHERE A

MODEST 30-35 KT LLJ INTERSECTS THIS BOUNDARY.

...NRN LA THROUGH W-CNTRL AND SWRN MS...

STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG A CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAVE ORGANIZED

A COLD POOL AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE SWD INTO A MODERATELY

UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. VERTICAL SHEAR IS WEAK...BUT STEEP LAPSE RATES

AND 2000-2500 J/KG MLCAPE WILL SUPPORT A THREAT OF ISOLATED DAMAGING

WIND AND HAIL. HAVE EXPANDED THE SLIGHT RISK AREA EWD TO ACCOUNT FOR

THIS DEVELOPING SCENARIO.

...OH VALLEY REGION...

THE ATMOSPHERE IS DESTABILIZING IN VICINITY OF A QUASI-STATIONARY

FRONT THAT EXTENDS ACROSS NRN IL SWWD INTO NRN MO. MEANWHILE...A

VORT MAX LOCATED OVER CNTRL MO WAS MOVING SLOWLY NEWD. STORMS WILL

LIKELY DEVELOP WITHIN THE ZONE OF FRONTAL CONVERGENCE OVER N-CNTRL

IL BY LATE AFTERNOON AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE.

OTHER STORMS MAY DEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH FROM ERN MO INTO WRN IL. WEAK

VERTICAL SHEAR WILL SUPPORT MULTICELLS...BUT STEEP LAPSE

RATES...MODERATE INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT BOUNDARY LAYER

TEMPERATURE-DEWPOINT SPREADS WILL PROMOTE A THREAT OF ISOLATED

DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL.
