The storm that rolled through North Texas Thursday night produced some hail, rain, lightning – and some surreal cloud formations. The clouds went crazy – and the crowds went crazy, too, taking pictures of the nighttime sky show. More thunderstorms are expected this afternoon – some of them could be severe.
On Twitter, folks exclaimed: “Last night I felt like I was in a Stephen King movie! Spooky clouds in Texas.” “By the looks of snapchat, Dallas is getting eaten by storm clouds.” “The clouds in Dallas tonight are freaking me out.”
There was even a haiku or two: “#clouds were impressive The #sunset was on #fire Calm before the #storm.”
Here’s a sampling of storm pictures from last night -- and an awesome video:
