This hit 2 days before my sister's birthday & 4 miles from their house. The Texas Storm Chasers are THE go-to guys if you live on the Gulf Coast. I used to watch their live streams on FB or YT. They ALWAYS know what's going on WAY before TWC & msm. They also monitor hurricanes. Definitely check out any of their platforms listed below if you want to know what's coming & when. They also are more reliable & faster than Emergency Alert Systems, as clearly shown in this video. They were already AT the tornado before the EAS went off.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A long-track supercell thunderstorm Monday, May 23, produced eight confirmed tornadoes starting just before 7 p.m. and ending just before 9 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. Two of the tornadoes are rated EF-2 and were nearly a mile wide. Though it was a close call to multiple towns, the twisters avoided these communities. No injuries were reported.
The tornadoes were confirmed in Cochran, Bailey and Hockley Counties, to the west of Lubbock.
The first tornado was close to the Cochran County and Bailey County line, northwest of Morton. This was a brief, needle-like tornado that became rain-wrapped. There was no damage observed and reported. This tornado lasted about five minutes, from 6:50 p.m. until 6:55 p.m., and the rating is unknown. It was on the ground for one mile. This initial report prompted John Robison and the KCBD FirstAlert Weather team to go on the air, then continue coverage for more than three hours continuously.
The second tornado started at 7:03 p.m. directly north of Morton, close to the county line. This tornado was rated an EF-2, with estimated peak wind around 120 miles per hour. It was on the ground for 15 minutes and, at its peak, was nearly a mile wide, according to the National Weather Service. It was on the ground for more than three miles. The width of this tornado may have been wider than what was surveyed. It is described as a wide, dusty, wedge tornado.
Five minutes before the EF-2 tornado dissipated, another tornado formed just east of where the second tornado formed. This was a small tornado with an unknown EF rating and unknown width. It was on the ground for about a mile, but it lasted about nine minutes. No damage was reported with this tornado.
East of where the third tornado began, a small, short-lived tornado formed in northeast Cochran County. It is reported to have lasted five minutes and traveled 1.6 miles.
Then in Northwest Hockley County at 8:06 p.m., an EF-0 tornado was spotted in an open field. Wooden power poles were blown down at the intersection of FM 597 and FM 303, two miles south of Pep. The path length was nearly two miles. The estimated peak winds were reported at 85 miles per hour.
The sixth tornado of the evening formed at 8:28 p.m. about five miles northeast of Whiteface in Hockley County. The EF rating is unknown, but the path was about one mile. This was a small, short-lived tornado.
Another small, short-lived tornado formed in the same area and was on the ground for about a half-mile and lasted about two minutes.
