Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Cowboys Practice roof collapses

The bubble over the covered practice field at Vally Ranch has collapsed..  There are people still trapped inside and it was during the rookie minicamp practice.

 

From channel 8

 

Steve Dennis was just on Channel 11 and he sounded VERY shaken up.

Hly shit

They are showing it on CH 11 right now. Seeing big 300 lb lineman holding columns scared like little girls is really weird. Thats an amazing video

they said no true tornado touched down but like 90 mph sustained winds.

That video on Ch 11 was nuts. They have said that every player and coach is accounted for.

The video they just showed

Looked like someone was teapped and players and coaches were running to try and lift the roof off that person.

Amazing video

Holy hell...

There is just stuff EVERYWHERE. Debris all OVER the place. There are players in practice equipment running through water in that video, and they’re showing what it was doing inside before the collapse occurred. That’s just insane.

Watch that video again

Watch when the cameras are showing inside the bubble before it collapses. Look at that area about half way up the wall on the one end. Its where the video guys are. If those guys didn’t get down, which you can see them in the video still there, they had to get injured and pretty bad probably

My parents live in Benbrook. Hopefully it’s just storms, and not a tornado.

There was a hellacious storm up here in north Dallas about 45 minutes ago.

There was an insane lightning strike here in FW

about 3 hours ago.

I nearly jumped off my couch. Our radio tower for KTCU is already damaged from another storm last week. Wouldn’t be surprised if the strike today hit it again.

It sounds like the Ranch Report on the ticket is gonna be interesting

with Todd Archer who got trapped underneath the door and being saved by some of the rookies… Crazy stuff, really surreal

Just got back from out in Valley Ranch.

I snapped a bunch of photos. They’re here: http://tinyurl.com/d6eelj

It was a madhouse out there. Tons of people looking at it, tons of police and fire crews. It was a really bizarre scene.

This rain needs to stop soon

Or tonights game aint ganna happen… unless they are able to get a lot of this water off the field then they wont be able to play, no way… Luckily, it looks like the rain bands might stop soon, maybe this cell will be the last one.

This is our year.

Doesn't look like nearly as complicated a structure as the Cowboys

Hardly any aluminum in the photo. The Cowboys looks like a building with a plastic walls instead of a “bubble”
