Dallas Weather: Suspected tornados, straight-line winds cause ...

DALLAS - Severe storms Thursday night caused widespread power outages and lots of damage across North Texas.

Several possible tornadoes were reported including in Weatherford, Celina and the Hopkins County town of Pickton, but those reports still need to be confirmed by the National Weather Service.

The damage and power outages in Weatherford, Frisco and McKinney also forced schools there to close on Friday.

Many businesses and homeowners in other parts of North Texas will be spending the next few days cleaning up.

Weatherford

A tornado was spotted west of Fort Worth in the city of Weatherford.

One of FOX 4’s storm chasers driving in downtown Weatherford recorded video of debris flying around in the damaging winds.

The National Weather Service still needs to confirm that tornado.

The wind also knocked over numerous power lines and covered the roads with debris, which forced the city’s school district to cancel classes on Friday.

Weatherford ISD said some of its campuses suffered minor damage.

No major injuries were reported.

Celina

Some people in Celina in Collin County think a tornado hit the city.

FOX 4 viewer Raelena Grijalva shared video from her apartment balcony in Celina. It shows some power flashes and what looks like a debris cloud.

The storm hit on the south side of the city between 6 and 6:30 p.m. Thursday.

Pinkton

The storm that came through DFW may have also produced a tornado in Hopkins County about 95 miles northeast of Dallas.

About 20 homes were damaged in the community of Pickton.

Power lines were also taken down in the area.

Public schools were closed on Friday.

Little Elm

Straight-line winds with gusts as strong as 70 miles per hour caused a lot of damage in Denton County.

Winds at that velocity can really do a lot of damage. That’s exactly what happened at the La Azteca Meat Market on El Dorado Parkway in Little Elm, west of Frisco.

The front façade of the store was no match for the winds. It collapsed onto several parked cars in front of the business, crushing them.

There were several people inside the store at the time, including one witness who said the collapse itself was very scary.

"I was talking to my grandma on the phone and then out of nowhere I hear a big boom. Then I got scared," Diego Luna said. "It was a scary situation so I had to act quick. Got out the store."

Luna said the fire department arrived on the scene quickly.

Their first priority was to check to see if anyone was hurt.

Thankfully, there were no injuries despite some large pieces of the façade falling from quite a distance.

There were several flattened cars and the popular store will require lots of repairs.

Hurst

More than 20 people had to find a new place to stay on Thursday night after the storms damaged the Hunter Chase Apartments in Hurst.

Strong winds and rain moved through Tarrant County around 6 p.m.

Parts of the roof were torn off the apartment complex near Precinct Line Road and Highway 183.

"At first we were sitting out back and you could see it coming in. It got windy. Out of nowhere it hit and the whole building started shaking. Then we realized it’s the roof of the whole building upstairs and you hear the water dripping. It got crazy, almost picked up the truck out back," said Michael Roberts, who was inside the building as the storms came through.

Roberts said rain damaged his ceiling and walls.

Crews came to the scene on Thursday night to clean up the debris and glass.

A fencing and concrete business was also damaged in the area.

Cary Stowe was at home when he received an alert that the door to his business, Stowe Fencing and Copper on Central Park Drive had been opened.

He showed up Thursday night to see the doors and roof of his building had been blown off.

"We got out and came in and looked and saw the shop doors blown wide open and water is everywhere. The roof tore back and just everything was chaos," said Stowe.

He said all of the supplies stored inside the business have been damaged.

North Richland Hills

In North Richland Hills, northeast of Fort Worth, the wind damaged several homes under construction.

The city said it received hundreds of calls as the storm passed, with many people reporting downed trees and debris blocking roads.

North Richland Hills is discouraging travel Friday morning because many roadways are obstructed with debris.

There will be damage assessments later in the morning to evaluate the extent of the storm’s impact.

Balch Springs

Crews will be cleaning up damage at an Amazon warehouse in Balch Springs, southeast of Dallas.

No workers were hurt when part of the roof collapsed.

The city’s emergency coordinator said winds were gusting around 60 miles per hour when it happened.

He said not very many people were inside the building at the time.

"We’ve got a partial roof collapse inside the building. Awnings on both sides of the building are completely ripped off," said Brad Harris, the Balch Springs emergency management coordinator. "Right now this is the heaviest extent of the damage in our city."

Dallas County was under a tornado warning for part of the night. 

The National Weather Service will determine if a tornado is to blame for any damage.

Lewisville

Several boats were damaged at Pier 121 on Lake Lewisville.

Multiple docks were damaged and are now unusable.

Some boats were completely flipped over, the roofs of the docks fell on others.

The marina was evacuated before the storm hit.
