On this particular night, as the Dallas Cowboys and Greenbay Packers were finishing their drama-filled match-up at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, there was a lot of drama heading there way in the form of severe wx.

A storm system that had already brought ice and freezing rain to parts of the midwest, forcing the NFL to delay an earlier NFL match-up in Kansas City for several hours, between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs, was now starting to produce severe wx in the Dallas area.

Shortly after the game ended, a tornado warning was issued for the Dallas area, including where the stadium was located, forcing stadium officials to post on the jumbotron, “please take shelter.” Fans were told to stay inside the stadium because of the wx.

According to NFL reporter Jane Slater (@SlaterNLF on twitter), “Dak [Cowboys’ quarterback] and Zeke [Cowboys’ running back] stuck inside stadium too because of tornado giving some levity to this situation lingering fans cheering for them”

Here’s story from USA Today.

As a met, this can be one of the scariest situations to cover because you potentially have thousands of additional people on area roads and highways, unaware of the threatening wx situation, and it may be hard to reach them.

It turns out on the particular day and into next day, 6 tornadoes were confirm across central and northern Texas. This is the report from the National Weather Service (NWS).

I would encourage anyone, while you are attending big or major sporting or outdoor events, and enjoying yourself, to make sure you stay aware of the wx.
