We get plenty of warning (we find out about the storm cells well in advance), but people don't often take heed to the "take shelter" advice because it's rare that a "super-tornado" will actually hit. I remember when the small tornado hit downtown Dallas a couple years ago, folks were standing outside filming it and laughing about it -- while they were directly in its path.

Looks like there's another large cell that's making its way through. Wichita Falls and OK City seem to be getting the worst of it right now. So far, DFW is gloomy but nothing severe has made its way though.
