A Close Look at a Terrifying North Texas Tornado

Storm chasers in North Texas got up close and personal with a twister.

I don’t know how they do it. I watch a lot of storm chasers’ videos on social media and all I can think is that they’re going in the exact opposite direction I would if I were in that situation.

But I’m so glad there are folks out there braver than I who are willing to risk their lives to pass the word along when severe weather arrives.

I also love the fact they typically catch it all on video so the rest of us can watch from a safe distance. And that’s a rabbit hole I go down far too often on the internet.

I’m not sure exactly where the tornado touched down. However, I do know that I’m glad that thing wasn’t anywhere near my location at the time.

Dangerous Texas Gangs And Their Rivals

The rise of gang culture in Texas has been a steady one

The more prevalent gangs are, the more likely the average citizen is to cross paths with affiliated members. As the population of Texas has increased in size and diversity, so have the gangs of the Lone Star state.

If you're not mixed up in organized crime shenanigans, then you're probably safe. But as the old adage goes, the more you know the better prepared you are.
