Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe combination of a southward advancing cold front, warm air advection over the cold front, and an approaching shortwave aided in an explosive period that began the afternoon of May 2nd and continued into the morning hours of May 3rd. Several rounds of severe thunderstorms and thunderstorm clusters moved through north Texas in a very unstable environment. A downburst occurred at Valley Ranch in Irving resulting in the collapse of the Dallas Cowboys' bubble practice facility. Flash flooding and flooding became a problem as several clusters of storms produced heavy rainfall over repeated areas.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA man was struck by lightning after it first hit a tree and then jumped to him. The lightning stripped the tree of its bark and some of the bark pieces also hit the man. He was not seriously injured but taken to the hospital.
