While the severe weather looked to be heading straight to Dallas Fort Worth airport, the major hub is no longer in the direct path of the storm. Dallas flights were shut down and travelers at the airport were told to take shelter.
During the storm, the Dallas Fort Worth Red Cross and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport used Twitter to reach out to followers and ensure they were taking the proper precautions.
When news of the impending tornado threat hit, the Red Cross also shared safety tips on Twitter -- such as how to best find shelter -- then continued to tweet out locations where people should be alert and take cover.
The Dallas Fort Worth Intrnational Airport used Twitter to connect with people in the airport confused about where to seek cover, comfort loved ones of people currently in the airport, and share status updates on flights.
