The tornado pics on nbc5 is from Haltom City, the same from the area WFAA was showing pics of RV's and big rig trailers that had been tossed around. Also showing sig damage to a grocery store.

2.50-3.00" Hail confirmed at DFW. That likely did some major damage to the planes and windshields.
Also, several tornadoes confirmed with the same storms moving through Kaufman County, TX.

There are pictures of a significantly damaged brick church building in northeast Tarrant County on NBC 5's storm photo slideshow:
http://www.nbc5i.com/slideshow/news/11871190/detail.html
The roof was completely torn off and one of the exterior walls collapsed. Significant damage was done to the interior walls as well. Trees around the church were severely damaged with some partial debarking in places. Looks like low to mid EF-2 type damage to me. All the other damage in the slideshow looks mid to high end EF-1.

First fatality reported in Haltom City, WFAA.
Edit: Don't see a whole lot of damage out of the east side of town in Dallas. Shifting my attention way down south to the San Antonio area, figuring two tornado warnings to be issued some time soon, still a ways out.

May be a bit early......but keep an eye on the supercell forming west of San Antonio. This cell is move ESE.....and into a more favorable environment. At the current rate, it will be over the metro in the next hour to hour and a half.
It would be wild to have two major cities with over a million people to be hit in the same day.
Edit: Uvalde Co. cell coming close to exiting the Hill Country into the south TX Plains. 0100Z SPC Mesoanalysis has STP 4-5+ over San Antonio. With rightward-deviant storm motions and flatter terrain, I see no reason why this storm won't go tornadic.

I had a long chase day, a frustrating one. But anyways that is for another thread, The supercell That moved through dallas looks to be weakening and becoming more of a line segment. I thought today would have been a much more volatile day, Thank god it wasnt as bad as it could have been.

I agree with Matt; the Uvalde Co. supercell does indeed bear close watching as it moves towards San Antonio. Once it clears the hill country, it should go tornadic rapidly. I would not be surprised if this cell turns cyclic, it being a right mover and in an extremely favorable environment. The paramaters are definitely in place for potentially significant tornadoes.
San Antonio needs to be on alert; this may turn into a very dangerous situation for them in the next hour or so.
EDIT: The storm has developed a nice, tight hook in the last few scans, a very tight couplet devloping on the SRV scan and has a 70 dbz hail core... and is yet to be tornado warned. Expect this will change very shortly.

NO LSR either from OUN on the tornado...very strange....certainly Tony's picture speaks volumes but nothing on the official record in print yet. I had quite a crowd around my desk watching radar as it moved from N.Haskell Co., into Knox and Baylor Counties ...this big tornado may have been down for a fairly long path across very rural areas of these 3 counties. It was a real beauty on radar for sure.

The storm W of SAT now has a big hook to go with serious rotation. TOR should be forthcoming. (oops, Mark already said that...)
edit... latest scan looks like reflectivity may be seeing a bit of debris.

The SAT supercell is looking better on the last scan. The southern appendage of the cell will be moving over a lot of southern San Antonio suburbs over the next 20-30 minutes. Hopefully it does not produce a tornado.

Looks like we may have a tornado moving into the western portions of the San Antonio metro area in the next fifteen minutes or so. 
If nothing else, the metro area is going to be in for one hell of a hailstorm... that sucker has a persistent 70 dbz hail core!
Also, central and western Lousiana is lighting up like a Christmas tree - beautiful, isolated supes exploding all over the area. The most impressive one attm is located in Winn Parish in the west central part of the state; KPOE (Fort Polk) and KSRV (Shreveport) radar have pretty good views of it. It has a 70 dbz core and a rapidly strengthening shear couplet. If any cell is going to drop strong/violent tornadoes tonight, that cell might be the one to do it.
