Four Tornadoes + Strong Straight Line Winds

The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth has a look at the four tornadoes on Doppler radar from Sunday night/Monday morning.  These are fantastic shots of what we are looking at here at the CBS11/TXA21 Storm Center during thunderstorm event.  We can discover what the winds are doing inside these storms, but we still need spotters on the ground to give us confirmation on what we're looking at on the radar.

And a reminder to pay just as much attention and give as much respect to SEVERE T'STORM WARNINGS as you do TORNADO WARNINGS.  The speeds with straight line wind events can easily approach 80-100 mph....that's stronger than some tornadoes.  There were widespread areas of straight line wind damage and only localized areas of actual tornado damage.
