At least your area is getting rain today. My area is too far south to get anything from this system. I want storms!

Storm in western Tarrant county needs to be watched, it's starting to look ominous.

Power flashes in Farmersville, with tornado debris signature on radar. Heading toward Greenville. Channel 11 doing a good job of covering storm. See link earlier in thread.

I wouldn't take those 3 storms for the flash flood warning. I like my roof without dents in it and the thousands in repair in my bank account.

I gave some thought to driving up the road to chase the Farmersville storm, but I'm not that crazy.

Tennis ball sized hail just reported in Frisco. McKinney will be under the gun again.

Wicked, wicked, wicked day of hail damage. An insurer's nightmare unfolding.

Man Denton could get hit with more hail with another severe storm heading that way. What a day they've had today. Around 4 different severe cells moved over that area I think?

Could someone post a velocity screencap of this tornado-warned storm near Farmersville from that weather program that you can log into different radar sites, retrieve their data, and zoom in. I forget the name of it. I used to have it but lost it a year or two ago when I reformatted.

EDIT: This is what I was able to pull from nws site and enlarge. Wish I could recall that program's name!

Texas Storm Chasers ‏@TxStormChasers: RT @DFWscanner: .@NWSFortWorth is confirming injuries in Farmersville (Collin County). #txwx

Looks to me as if a dangerous couplet is moving into the northern portion of Greenville.

More hail here, but still not giant. Best case scenario really. Hopefully stays this way.
