Saturday's constant rainfall kept first responders busy in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

"We heard a loud, like lighting and thunder from the storm, and it seemed super close," he said."The house kind of shook a little bit."

"It has been a very rough day for area first responders," said Matt Zavadsky, spokesperson for MedStar, which provides EMS services to Fort Worth and 13 surrounding cities. "While it’s difficult for us to KNOW if any of these were weather-related, however, last Saturday by this time, we responded to only 20, with 7 of them resulting in someone going to local hospitals," he said.Police said it was too early to tell if weather was a factor in the accident.
