A spotter caught the one that was east of Sweetwater. It was on the ground for about 10 seconds.

Saw a funnel through rain for all of about 3 seconds just west of I20 and Hwy 707. Had a second area of rotation just north of I20 and Hwy 707...currently following behind it on county roads as we lost it in the rain Just found some damage to a mobile home's car covering and fencing. At county road 496 and 495 W of ABI

There's a storm tracker forum that I troll on. It's only used by professional storm trackers and about 90% of what they write doesn't make too much sense to me. However, they have some really cool links to their sites. There are a bunch of guys that have live cams on their cars while they go out chasing. Really neat stuff.

No audio...most of these cams don't have audio.

The KTXS Tower Cam loop might catch a nice shot or two with a nice hook sitting just a few miles east of their tower.

Dude, one of the photos from this site is roughly 3 miles due north of my house on FM 368 where he talks about his red Subaru on the ground. That was Monday. We had golfball sized hail and a tornado warning that afternoon.

Paradise, Tx, home of member D bird, is in the path of a possible violent tornado, almost on top of Paradise right now.
