Hook echo went right over my hometown/family's house before wrapping up about 20-30 minutes later near Claremore, OK. PDS warned now

Re: Texas Spring 2024
Fortunately, that cell *JUST* missed the far northern edge of DFW suburbs by a few miles (it tracked over a mostly still rural part of Collin County)
But yeah, definitely a nasty-looking cell.

Re: Texas Spring 2024
That said, the timing couldn't have been worse, because this cell also passed over a rural area that's an major recreational destination for DFW residents (Lake Ray Roberts), and on a hot holiday weekend, so of course there would be many people out there.

That picture is of the Shell station that the chaser said was gone. Report of 150 injuries there (not sure if that also includes triage from the interstate). Here's a before image from Streetview:
