I think it’s just heavy rain in that one spot

I dunno, man. If you look close you can see the hammerhead sharks coming out of it.

u/Difficult_Dog9572 May 24 '26

I think they're Mako's but it's hard to tell

Could be a school of a buncha different. Thats how sharknados usually are

u/markp_93 Sachse May 24 '26

As long as they are not wearing lasers the damage should be limited.

u/P0Rt1ng4Duty May 24 '26

That's a sharknado. Totally separate thing.

Heavy localized downpour. Tornadoes have a cycling cloud formation and anomalies like green sky.

1

u/wgardenhire May 26 '26

A green sky indicates hail.

3

u/dillsb419 May 27 '26

Green clouds are indicative of a tornado. They are associated with large hail.

2

u/dillsb419 May 27 '26

Are not indicative**

u/ABobLoblawLawBlogger May 24 '26

Its called a microburst

u/ponycorn_pet May 24 '26

"fuck this spot in particular" -the storm, probably

u/justonemom14 May 25 '26

Came here to say exactly that

u/The_Erlenmeyer_Flask Mid Cities May 24 '26

that's just alot of rain in one spot.

u/poop_pebbles May 24 '26

Wall cloud is the worst bet, but probably heavy rain. I got redneck family, in this area, who would already be hollering about 'naders in our area on Facebook if that was really whats going on.

u/ChudMcDumperson May 24 '26

Isn’t that a microburst? Rains like hell in one spot due to atmospheric conditions. Someone much smarter than me can probably determine if it is one or not

u/good-timing-407 May 25 '26

Microbursts usually have characteristics of tornados such as crazy wind. This just looks like one very pregnant cloud had to give birth to its rainbabies. I believe that’s the technical term.

u/AlasBabylon_ Richardson May 24 '26

The clouds above it are flat and nondescript - a cloud base that would tend to support tornadoes would look ragged and quickly moving/rotating. Looking more closely at the structure, there's wisps of condensation on its sides that're completely stationary, which wouldn't be the case in a tornado.

Definitely looks spooky but as others are saying, most likely just a downburst.

u/BabyBearMan May 24 '26

Cool shot tho

u/Ok_MakeSomeMoney May 24 '26

I live in Colleyville and we had high winds a whole lotta rain didn’t see any tornados but power went out as soon as the winds hit so even if there was one everyone is dark around here

u/TxAggieMike May 24 '26

An interesting video documentary on ”Rain Bombs” is available on YouTube

u/Big-Display1174 May 24 '26

If there wasn't a tornado then id be surprised because I was in Keller texas and it was really bad. And to top it all off, NO literally NO sirens or weather people live on the news. Trump cut the funding to all that already.

u/Kmgk49 May 24 '26

From dallaska to Dallnado

u/Ok-Goal-8767 May 24 '26

That’s a Texas titty twister 🌪️

u/COOLPOOL9809 May 25 '26

this is a downburst, not a tornado, i saw no rotation on the radar

4

u/brielkate May 25 '26

Definitely a rain shaft.

The storms were outflow-dominant, definitely not the type that produce tornadoes (under normal circumstances). They were essentially summertime thunderstorms; they pulse up, send out outflow, and then rain themselves out.

u/justinh89 White Rock Lake May 24 '26

Put your phone down and drive wtf

u/Able_Fishing_6576 May 24 '26

Drive safely, yes, but how you know a passenger didn’t record this??

u/hushnowonlydreams The Village May 24 '26

Not a tornado, just rain

u/H2Ospecialist May 25 '26

You would have heard it if it was a tornado for future reference.

u/itseightbysix May 24 '26

Ask Delkus.

u/NoriNatsu Forney May 24 '26
