www.weather.govI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute tornado warnings right now, but I can point you to authoritative sources and quick steps to stay safe.
What to check now
- National Weather Service (NWS) Dallas/Fort Worth: look for current watches/warnings and area-specific briefings. They publish area alerts and radar updates frequently.
- Local media in Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas: TV stations and their online feeds often have the fastest local notices.
- NOAA Weather Radio or the official NWS mobile apps, which push real-time alerts to your device.
Immediate safety steps if you’re in danger
- If a tornado warning is in effect for your area, seek shelter immediately in a sturdy building. Go to a basement or interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.
- If you can’t reach a basement, pick a small, windowless interior room (hallway closet, bathroom) and cover yourself with a heavy blanket or mattress.
- Protect your head and neck; put as many walls between you and the outside as possible. Avoid outside walls, windows, doors, and vehicles.
- After the threat passes, wait for official all-clear before leaving shelter.
Dallas-area quick actions
- Have a NOAA alert or local alert app enabled to receive push notifications.
- Identify the safest interior room near where you are now (interior hallway, bathroom, interior closet) and have a helmet or sturdy items nearby to shield yourself.
- Keep a battery-powered flashlight, water, and a small emergency kit in your shelter area.
