The storms were widespread over the region, they pass over in long bands of activity, but the supercells were generally to the west and then they passed to the south. Hood and Johnson Counties were hard hit; I'm next door in Tarrant County and got the edges of storms with lots of rain and some straight-line winds. The light show was spectacular - while the storm was grinding up Cleburn (20 miles south) I could see the upper part of the "anvil" cloud that powers the tornadoes - there were lightning flashes every second, it was almost a continual light out there as it passed by.
