well,the tornados just hit DFW
http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Damage-reported-as-tornado-hits-near-Canton-Oklahoma-122533554.html

8:33p We've had a report of a brief tornado in Irving. We're getting numerous reports of golf ball size hail. Downtown Dallas is about ready to get hammered by this storm. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has removed passengers from jets and is sheltering them inside the terminal. The entire upper deck at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington has been evacuated. Two strong thunderstorms in the area are getting ready to merge. The storm is capable of producing hail up to baseball size. (Chief Meteorologist Pete Delkus)

I'm about to get hit with the next cell..

Strong rotation in Benbrook and southwest of downtown FTW. Yikes!

Golf ball sized hail in Euless. Tennis ball a little bit farther north of me in Arlington.

Now also saying possibly rotation over Pantego!

Golf ball sized at the Ballpark, just a couple miles north of me.

5. Ok well that explains why the White Sox game is in rain delay
Scariest times I've ever had was at Wrigley Field when there was a terrible storm that rolled in during a game and the sirens started going off. The wind started swirling around inside the stadium, it was freaking crazy.
