It looks like a good portion of Van Alstyne has lost power at this time and at about the same time I did check the radar and there looked to be a rotation marker that got added to the radar right over near Tombein.
00:14
So I'm not sure if you have anyone in that area that can get eyes on it or whatever I thought it was interesting timing.
