Dallas Tornado in devastation mode


   At least three tornadoes struck Dallas County, with two in neighboring counties today.   Check out this video.  Here’s more video.  Roofs were blown off and a semi was slammed into a wall.  Weak to moderate tornadoes often occur on the east half of tropical depressions that are the remnants of hurricanes (remember the small tornado near Paw Paw related to “Ike”.   Also wind gusts hit 65 mph.  A semi was blown off the road north of the border in Oklahoma.  Up to 10″ of rain has fallen from Austin up to Dallas, causing significant flooding.  Georgetown had 13.2″ of rain and Cedar Hill had 12.9″.  Over 11″ fell in Austin.  There was one unconfirmed report of 15″ of rain over 48 hours.  One fatality was reported when a car was washed off a road.
