Date: December 26, 2015
Location: Rowlett, Texas
A violent tornado hits the town of Rowlett, an eastern suburb of Dallas, on the day after Christmas in 2015. The Rowlett Texas tornado was rated EF-4 and caused 10 fatalities. I was on 635 and worked my way through Garland to where the tornado crossed highway 66.
Near the end of the video, I am almost injured or worse when wires re-generate right next to me and my car. This is a very important lesson for all chasers to learn and I almost learned the hard way.
