Numerous Tornado's threaten Dallas

A number of North Texas counties are under a Tornado watch, with witnesses reporting that twisters have already touched down in some places, accompanied by golf-ball size hail.

There are confirmed reports in the eastern town of Azle and also extensive damage in Saginaw.

The concern, however, is that the storm moves its way eastward and hits the heavily populated city of Dallas and the Fort Worth International airport. Tornado warnings are in effect for Dallas and Tarrant counties until 8:45 p.m.

11. That is huge. Small pieces of hail can cause a great deal of damage.

These must be really tearing things up. Hopefully the warnings have gone out and everyone has found a safe place.
