New England Revolution Caught in Texas Tornado

You think a Texas twister is going to stop the New England Revolution's win streak? Not a chance. The Revolution had to run for cover when a tornado touched down in North Texas. The team's hotel sits in the path of the cell, and hotel guests were sent to the basement for their own safety.

  1. Being in Texas was all well and good for a couple of Revs players who grew up in North Texas.
  2. Ohhh Dallas how I missed u. Just landed in d town. Thanks 4 all the great wishes & congrats. Also got some great ideas for April fools. Thx
  3. But on Tuesday afternoon, the Revs got word that a twister might be headed their way. Early reports said the storms were causing serious damage in the area.
  4. These tornados in Dallas ain't messing around....picking up freight trucks and straight tossing them!
  5. Tornado warning in Texas, that's not scary at all... #icanrunaway
  6. The Revs hit the hotel basement for 30 minutes. How did they pass the time? See below.
  7. Tornados touching down in Dallas so they put everyone in the basement.
  8. Just spent about 30min in the hotel basement while a tornadic cell came through this area of DAL. Hope all is well around us!
  9. Had a nice Family Feud session while waiting out the tornado warning in the basement. #teambonding #crazyweather
  10. Spent my afternoon dodging tornadoes and writing about @ClydeSimms19. Not a bad day, all in all.
  11. Putting the team in the basement was just a precautionary measure. But it had to be scary for any non-Texans involved. New England's communications czar Lizz Summers gave the definitive play-by-play account.
  12. Good news: we're not in tornado emergency yet. Bad news: probably will be soon. Worse news: few tornadoes are on ground in DFW area already.
  13. Tornadoes in TX/Midwest are like snowstorms in NE for meteorologists - they get all excited! Granted, tornadoes are way more dangerous.
  14. And our hotel is officially under a tornado warning and we're advised to go to stairwells ... yet we're still eating in meal room.
  15. and now we're officially being relocated area ...
  16. All safe now. Back from the hotel basement. Hoping everything's safe around us, still heavily storming.
