NWS CONFIRMS ALVORD AREA TORNADO - National Weather Service survey crews spent yesterday gathering information about the damage created by Wednesday night's storm which produced what they say are 16 confirmed tornadoes stretching from Montague County to just north of Goldthwaite in Central Texas. One of those confirmed tornadoes was near Alvord, although no other details were available early Friday. The largest tornado was a 1/2-mile wide EF-4 that hit Granbury, killing six people and injuring dozens. Three of the tornadoes were confirmed in Montague County - one just south of Amon Carter Lake, one near Belcherville and another near Nocona Lake. Data is still being collected, and the NWS said they will provide more information as it becomes available.

The threat of tornadoes leaves one feeling helpless.
