April 2015 Arlington, TX, tornado - got photo/video?

[ChristofferB]

Out of the very few Swedes I know who have seen a real tornado my girlfriend happens to be one. She was in Arlington, TX, in April 20015 and saw a tornado that was big enough to be seen from a distance and most likely somewhat towards the city area - that is pretty much all the information she could tell about it.

I thought it would be really cool to be able to find any information and preferrably a Youtube-video or at least a photo of this tornado.

Did anyone of you see it and shoot anything out of it, or could at least tell me a bit more of the event. It couldn't have been that many tornadoes in Arlington, TX, in April 2005 I assume...

Are you asking about 2015 or 2005? There where no confirmed tornados in Tarrant County TX (where Arlington is located) in April 2015 per the local NWS office: http://www.weather.gov/fwd/tarrant-tor.

There where 2 on April 24, 2005 in Tarrant County, but neither was in Arlington. There was an EF0 confirmed in Mansfield to the south of Arlington and another EF0 near I-20 and I-35W in South Forth Worth. The one in Mansfield was very close to southern Arlington and may have been visible from Arlington.

Back on April 3, 2012 there was also a tornado that had a path from Mansfield up into Arlington. There is several YouTube clips showing this particular tornado. Here is the storm reports for that day. http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/120403_rpts.html
