Tornadoes Touch Down in Dallas Area

Add Feedback

Share |

Several tornadoes touched down in and around the Dallas, Texas area today. One of the smaller funnel clouds was caught live on video.

The unstable air was spawned by tropical storm Hermine that caused creeks and rivers to rise and flooding in many areas including Arlington, where many residents of an apartment complex had to be rescued by firefighters.

Damage is being reported in several areas but the extent of the damage is not known.
