To our Texas posters

Just checking in to make sure everyone's OK - do we have anybody in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area?  I'm watching these storms on radar - even looking past the tornadoes, these storms are quite amazingly severe.  My radar software is detecting 4.5" hail - showing reflectivity values of 73 for the base reflectivity.  Those are values that are typically reserved for debris from tornadoes... when you see values like that for hail, those are some big hailstones.

I've been watching the live feed from Fox.  Multiple tornadoes have struck the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.

American Mensa is based in Arlington, between the two cities.  Their website is still up, surprisingly.  So is the Dallas webcam here:  http://www.earthcam.com/usa/texas/dallas/

I found a webcam in Arlington, TX.  It is still up, but the sky is very dark.  Grapevine, TX was also hit and its webcam is down.

I'm doing fine, but it was really bad earlier.

Arlington, Lancaster, and Mesquite/Forney got hit pretty hard. My office is off 35 in Dallas and we saw multiple funnels over Farmers Branch and Carrollton, but none of them touched down. It definitely got pretty tense around 230 or so, but all is well now.
