The KDYX WSR-88D (Dyess AFB, although the radar is actually located 40 miles to the east, just west of Moran) is about to get hammered. Just a few minutes ago, storm spotters reported a tornado just north of Baird, along the Shackleford/Callahan County line, moving east. If the tornado remains on the ground, it'll pass very close to the radar site - most likely within in a mile.

Given how that particular radar goes down due to mechanical failure seemingly every other day, I figured matters couldn't get worse...guess I was wrong.

UPDATE (9:42 PM): Tornado crossing Hwy. 283...5 miles to go.

UPDATE (10:03 PM): Looks like the radar survived. Tornado probably still on the ground.
