The storm is dropping 6" of rain locally, according to radar estimates.

Stephenville KSEP had over 2" in the rain gauge today, with hail reported. Hail normally contaminates the rain estimation, but it's not always obvious how much the hail contributes.

Not a lot of rain gauges in the area that has been hit hardest. Highest I saw when I looked just now was 2.5" on the official gauges.

Just got home from a chase that lasted from about 2:30 until almost 8:30.  Was on the cell that started near rising star and saw a spin up on that storm, then when it died promptly got on the cell that dropped a tornado near Stephenvile.  I have video and pictures of what I believe was the tornado on that one, but its not totally clear.  That was one of the most amazing supercells I've seen.  It was flat out gorgeous.

 

Now I'm home and watching all hell breakout south of Fort Worth.  Stay safe everyone.

This is the best picture I have what I believe to be the Stephenville tornado.  We were pretty far away (10+ miles from Stephenville) so this is very much cropped.  We did see it come together although after a bit it was obscured partially by the rain I managed to get shaky and not so great video of what looked like vorticies rotating around a central point.  

 

But once again, we were pretty far.
