At least one tornado touched down in the Dallas area amid stormy weather on Sunday night, tearing through structures, overturning cars and knocking out electricity for thousands.

The National Weather Service said the radar-confirmed the tornado hit the ground around 9 p.m. local time near Dallas Love Field Airport, northwest of downtown. Footage from the area showed several damaged businesses, homes with the roofs ripped off, fallen trees and downed power lines.

The Dallas Independent School District canceled Monday classes at six schools, citing"extensive damage" to a number of campuses due to the severe weather. There were also reports of gas leaks north of Dallas' Walnut Hill neighborhood, according to a press release from the city of Dallas. Rocky Vaz, the director of the City of Dallas Office of Emergency Management, said six people were transported to local hospitals but were not seriously injured. However, there were no reports of deaths or serious injuries as of early Monday morning, according to the city.

More than 167,000 electric customers were without power across Texas as of 6:30 a.m. local time. About 65,000 of those customers were within Dallas, according to the city, which opened the Bachman Recreation Center early Monday morning for people seeking shelter.

Before I read the heading I thought this was a video of the homeless encampments in Los Angeles. Apparently they leave as much debris as a tornado.

This is small potatoes comment - but always keep your gas tank full. You never know when you could get stranded. It’s so easy to juice up at half tank rather than red line. I started gassing up at 1/2 tank after big blackout

Wow!
