Severe winds in thunderstorms make pedestrians struggle in downtown Dallas. Photo by Louis DeLuca, Dallas Morning News. |
Windspread winds that reached over 80 mph in some places ripped roofs from buildings, collapsed a couple more and cut power to at least 250,000 people.
In Fort Worth, in the Stockyards section, the back wall of a hotel collapsed, showering bricks over a bunch of parked cars. Amazingly, nobody was seriously hurt.
A roof also blew off a building at Arlington Baptist College and smashing windows sprayed glass onto young women in a dormitory. Some suffered cuts, but they weren't severely injured.
