This is a forecasted measure of "juice", or buoyancy in the atmosphere. The fancy meteorological term is surface based CAPE. Anything over 3,500 is extreme. The line of storms should follow the plume of +3,500 (white/purple), first moving SSE over the western half of OK, then a turn more ESE near the Red River/north TX around 8 PM tomorrow. Most people over north TX, central OK, and western OK will see 60-80 mph gusts however, there will definitely be spots nearing 100 mph along the way. ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks awesome! Well deserved! It’s a great day to give back to our first responders! Anytime we say thank you to military, first responders, including law enforcement, that’s a good day for sure!

12 years ago an EF4 tornado with winds approaching 180 mph struck the Rancho Brazos subdivision in Granbury. The powerful tornado  took the lives of 6 residents and destroyed over 90 homes. Granbury Fire personnel were the first emergency responders into the neighborhood where they remained in shifts for several days searching for the missing. 
We remember and still mourn the deceased from that day.

We remember and still mourn the deceased from that day.On this date in 2013, a swarm of 19 tornadoes hit N TX. The strongest, an EF-4 with winds estimated at 180mph, hit SE Granbury killing 6 people. A few homes were swept clean off their foundations. Another EF-3 hit Cleburne doing heavy damage. ... See MoreSee Less

I think the year is wrong, couldn't of been 2013, but still a tragedy

This is a hail ball that fell in my backyard that day. I remember hiding in the tub with my 1yr old we had crib mattress over us.

I was in at and. My house was totaled. We lived through it, by the grace of God. Every year around this time is rough. PTSD and tornado season.. I'm so grateful to be here still.

I remember this night so well. I wasn’t far from here. The hail busted out skylights in my house. Minor, of course, to the trauma the others experienced.

My Aunt's house was one of like 16 to survive and it's only because of that tree it's built around...

I was there that week covering the damage when I was a Reporter at KBTX-TV. It was sad to see but amazing to see the community come together.

Lost some friends in it

Bad weather headed yalls way, this storm cell has already formed tornadoes
