Dallas Tornado in devastation mode
At least three tornadoes struck Dallas County, with two in neighboring counties today. Check out this video. Here’s more video. Roofs were blown off and a semi was slammed into a wall. Weak to moderate tornadoes often occur on the east half of tropical depressions that are the remnants of hurricanes (remember the small tornado near Paw Paw related to “Ike”. Also wind gusts hit 65 mph. A semi was blown off the road north of the border in Oklahoma. Up to 10″ of rain has fallen from Austin up to Dallas, causing significant flooding. Georgetown had 13.2″ of rain and Cedar Hill had 12.9″. Over 11″ fell in Austin. There was one unconfirmed report of 15″ of rain over 48 hours. One fatality was reported when a car was washed off a road.

Tornado Touches Down Near Downtown Dallas
A tornado
touched down near Downtown Dallas Wednesday evening. The funnel could be clearly seen as it touched the ground and threw debris into the air at about 6:15 Wednesday evening.
The tornado heavily damaged a building in the 600 block of Mockingbird Lane, destroying part of one wall and the roof. At least one person was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
The storm could be seen beginning to lower and rotate just after 6 p.m, which are two strong signs that a funnel cloud is forming.
The funnel touched down soon after.
Earlier, a tornado from a separate storm cell touched down in Palmer, which is in Ellis County. That storm cell then moved northeast to Seagoville. Local officials said the storm caused significant damage there, but details were not immediately available.
The storm cells developed as part of the larger weather system that caused widespread flash flooding in North Texas earlier Wednesday.
The remains of Tropical Storm Hermine dumped huge amounts of rain across the area. Many roads and buildings flooded. Click here for complete coverage of the flooding.
