nrgjeff Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.

Srain Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 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.
