    Looks like three on the ground around OKC now. If that storm does what these storms usually do, and that's go right up I-44, then they're due in Joplin around 8-9 p.m. That's the last thing that area needs.

    Looks like Norman and Stillwater are in the paths of the ones on the ground right now.

    I'm shocked KFOR sends a helicopter up into that.

    No kidding. Incredible stuff. Prayers to everyone in Oklahoma and elsewhere dealing with this.

    I'm not. Terror sells.

    I'm also not shocked about the storm chaser almost getting killed on live TV. It's going to happen sooner or later because TV execs are willing to put their people in danger for a couple ratings points.

    .....and if you've ever been on a twister hunt, it doesn't matter how close you get to one.....it's like a drug. The adrenalin rush is like the strongest crack.

    Dallas getting hit now. People at DFW and Rangers game are in the path. Highland Park might have been hit.

    A line of storms headed this way. A tiny silver in the southern part of the county is under a thunderstorm warning along with the western 3/4ths of the county due south.

    Apparently Rangers Ballpark is being evacuated. That sounds frightening as hell.

    Good.

    Maybe a tornado will go through the White Sox broadcast booth and get Hawk. {crossthread}

    Didn't they send everyone in the Ballpark down into the stadium tunnels last time something like this happened? I think that's what's going on. Rangers beat writer at has this picture: http://t.co/QX2FdS He says golf ball and larger sized hail out there.

    I've been herded into the covered hallways in the terminals at DFW before (which has happened tonight). No fun at all.
