Video from CNN affiliate WFAA broadcast dramatic footage of the scene, showing truck trailers being lifted and tossed like toys. Ominous clouds filled the skies. There were no immediate reports of major injuries or damage, but CNN's Chad Myers said the worst may be yet to come. [b]"Both storms right now are getting bigger. They both have been rotating, and they both have significant possibilities of damage on the ground heading into DFW,"[/b] he said. The weather service urged people in the area to move to a bathroom, closet or hallway on the lowest floor of their buildings and take cover. [b][Original post 2:51 p.m. ET][/b] An apparent tornado ripped through Dallas County, Texas, Tuesday afternoon. A news helicopter from Dallas CNN affiliate WFAA followed a funnel cloud churning through a truck terminal, tossing 80-foot metal cargo trailers hundreds of feet in the air. CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras tweeted, [b]"Watching homes being damaged now in Dallas. Large pieces of debris in the air.
