I saw that same picture on the news last night. There was a similar picture right out my #2 window in my cockpit yesterday afternoon departing DFW and turning inside, but up against the cell. I had a guy on the jumpseat and my FO and I was flying the departure (hand flown). It was a radar vector to the north turning inside the weather...kinda.
Anyway, just the background because we were a good 10 miles from the weather when we took off but the turn put us up against the edge but not in it, and the wall cloud under it looked ominous. Much like the picture above. The news said all the tornadoes were only F1's...but its a f'ing F5 if your in its way, no matter how big it is!!! When we made that turn, the raindrops sounded like hail but it was just rain, and we were not even in the rain painting on my radar. That cell was over 50,000' on WSI (aviation weather). There was another cell just north of that one and headed toward my house north of Denton. All we got was pea sized, but that was some big weather! Hope that is not a precursor of the spring!
