A few items we picked up off YouTube today as THREE tornadoes hit the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Here’s raw footage of one which hit in Lancaster, southeast of Dallas…

This is also from Lancaster, and it’s famous already. Watch it throw trailers from 18-wheelers around like pieces of paper…

This appears to be the same storm, but better-quality video. It’s in Kennedale, which is in Tarrant County southeast of Fort Worth and southwest of Arlington (which appears to be the place that got hit harder than anywhere)…

And here’s a shot of a tornado which hit in Forney, which is to the east of Dallas (Forney is the first town you hit if you’re driving into Dallas from Shreveport on I-20 once you actually get to the Metroplex)…

And here’s a compilation of chopper footage from WFAA-TV in Dallas, complete with some shots of the post-tornado damage…
