A parade of tornadoes marched their way across the Dallas-Ft. Worth area of Texas yesterday, leaving plenty of damage to homes in businesses in their wake. Storm chasers and average citizens with video cameras caught the storms in action, even spotting tractor-trailers being thrown into the air like huge metal kites.
Here are a few of the videos that eyewitnesses took of the Texas tornadoes:
