Rotating funnel clouds swept west to east across Interstate 30 from Tarrant to Dallas County. What Happened Locals in west Fort Worth were awakened by tornado sirens and emergency alerts around 2 am Wednesday morning. A rapidly…
There’s no place like home. I’m repeating Dorothy’s famous mantra today after spending 14 of the last 16 days on the road. That’s a higher than normal ratio and not one I want to sustain.

What I didn’t realize is that wine, miles, and cars would intersect quite the way they did. I can now state with certainty that MY Cadillac test drive was…

Fans headed to the college football classic Red River Shootout (better known in theses parts as Texas/OU Weekend) take note. Texas and Oklahoma both have higher rates of heart disease compared to national statistics. Some might equate this to the coronary-inducing performances of both teams at times. Or it might be the unequivocal love of…
In this video captured by Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Andrea Ahles, Southwest reveals its new paint scheme to the hometown crowd at a maintenance hangar event today in Dallas.
