Multiple tornadoes touched down on 04-14-2017 near Dimmitt, Texas on Good Friday, 04-14-2017. Storm Chaser Aaron Jayjack documented multiple tornado types - it was a NaderPalooza! - multivortex, wedges, cones, twins, ropes... an unbelievable day for a low risk day for Tornadoes. But April and Drylines are like Butter and Toast.

For the impatient not interested in the story, the RAW highlight video can be found here:

The day started out rather modest, with this first tweet from Storm Chaser Aaron Jayjack:
