Today's a good weather-watching day.  I'll get to keep up with what's going on, but I might have the right motivation to see what's happening down at TWC, too.  At least I'm not in the red area of that map, but I'll probably still hear some thunder.

It looks like the quiet spring we've experienced thus far is coming to an end, following a tornado outbreak in North Texas yesterday.  The NWS in Fort Worth is saying at least 10 tornadoes were confirmed from the outbreak. 

The tornado in Granbury, TX has been given a preliminary rating of EF4.  I am still waiting to see, and curious, what the rating on that mile-wide tornado in Cleburne will be. 

I am wishing for safety for any of you in the path of storms over the coming days and recovery for anyone who has been affected by these deadly tornadoes.

It's been confirmed to be an Ef4 with 6 fatalities confirmed and 7 people still missing. Yesterday now seems to be the start of this year's tornado season, and it looks like we might get another outbreak next weekend. Most of the damage was south of Dallas and mainly south of Fort Worth, though I saw one supercell was headed right for downtown Dallas. Coppell has seen some major damage (wind) according to my relatives who live relatively close to where the tornado struck.

An EF4 tornado, that sounds familier.  :fear:

Looks like a potential outbreak of tornadoes is possible today through tomorrow from the upper Plains to the Upper Mississippi River Valley. Those who are in the threat zone please be careful and stay safe.

I am watching TWC's live coverage of a tornado, they are showing a tornado live just north of OKC and it has exploded from a rope to a half-mile wide multiple vortex tornado, according to Jim Cantore.

Long Island, August-September 2012 tornadoes, Hurricane Sandy, Blizzard of 2013, how many places on Earth do you know can get all 3 of those events within a 6 month period?

That was my preliminary guess too Craig, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Oklahoma on this tragic day.

It's very chilling and heartbreaking to see all of the mass destruction the storm left in its path  :(  My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of today's violent tornado.

I don't like to double post, but has anyone seen the tragic tornadoes in Oklahoma and in Moore? Moore has been hit several times. Moore was hit very hard by an F5 tornado on May 3rd, 1999 and today, history has repeated itself. It's so sad and tragic.  :( :fear: :cry:

Now you see why I would never want to live in the Great Plains.  Things happen way too frequently as it's a natural battleground between hot and cold air masses along with dry and moist air masses.  There's also no real terrain to detour or block these ingredients from clashing together in this area. :(  You end up with multiple threats of tornadoes in a really short span of time compared to other places.  I hope everyone out there will be okay, but I'm afraid severe weather season in 2013 just officially began with a bang.
