Title: Anyone got audio of DFW when they were hit by the tornado?
Post by: fholbert on April 03, 2012, 07:30:11 PM

More than 110 aircraft at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport sustained hail damage on Tuesday as tornadoes tore through the region.

Here's a clip. Starts at around 1820Z. Condensed for time and irrelevant conversation. All audio is related to storm.

Part 2. The storm is getting closer, and in the last 30 seconds the West Tower is evacuated.

Here's another clip from the East Tower. They talk about the possible evacuation of the West Tower as well as diverting some flights to Love.

Here's the East Tower from the same time as my second post. Multiple aircraft either shut down or return to the gate. At around 3:50 a local news chopper requests clearance and is denied Class B entry or special VFR.

Thanks for the compliment. It's my first foray into editing these ATC clips.
