Re: Another week of severe weather in the southern plains?
Foy, our field supervisor, and Mike, one of our lease operators, are on Turkey Creek Road off TX 25, and they say the tornado is huge.
They'd be about ten miles South of Electra.

They can't see it anymore, they never sw it lift, but there is now rain between them and the tornado/possible tornado.
They called it two tornadoes moving around each other.
