Tuesday was hell of a day. About a dozen tornados broke out all over the Metroplex causeing millions in damages. When one was reported in southwest Arlington moving to the northeast, I jumped in my car and headed to Ballpark Way and I-30 in hopes of getting photos and video of it crossing the highway. Instead, what I would call a F0 in terms of wind speed, dropped right on top of me. Video and photos below.
