Early on Tuesday morning, a ferocious storm ripped through much of North Texas. According to WFAA meteorologist Pete Delkus, wind speeds in the northern parts of the region reached over 70 miles per hour. Dylan Federico of Fox 4 in Dallas reported that wind speeds of 78 miles per hour were recorded at Love Field around 6 a.m.
At one point Tuesday morning, the city of Carrollton noted on its official Facebook page that more than half of the city’s Oncor customers were without power, with nearly 30,000 homes affected. As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, a tornado watch for most of North Texas was lifted, although a severe wind advisory is in place until 9 p.m. NBC 5 reports that “while the storms move east, wind and the possibility of wildfires remain for all of North Texas through Tuesday afternoon.”
Some areas, including large sections of Dallas proper, didn’t suffer much damage, but the areas that did get hit, such as the suburbs north of I-635, seemed to get hit especially hard. Across social media and local news broadcasts, damage to fences, trees, windows and roofs popped up quickly following the worst of the rain and wind during the early hours of the morning.
