North Texas Tornado Kills 2 as Homes Are Destroyed in Runaway Bay
Two people dead after a powerful tornado rips through northern Texas, destroying homes in Runaway Bay and nearby towns while thousands face power outages.
A powerful tornado ripped through northern Texas overnight, leaving a trail of damage in Runaway Bay and nearby communities. Officials confirmed at least two deaths as responders comb through debris and residents survey the wreckage.
The storm knocked out power for thousands across two counties northwest of Fort Worth, with downed lines and damaged homes blocking roads. Rescue crews worked through the night to reach families in Runaway Bay and Springtown, pulling relatives from the rubble and setting up shelter as crews assess the scale of the damage.
With utility crews racing to restore electricity, emergency managers warned residents to stay clear of damaged structures and downed power lines. The weather system has left a clear message about severe weather season in North Texas, and investigators will likely begin piecing together the path of the tornado once daylight returns.
Residents expressed shock but resilience as volunteers and responders offered food, blankets, and a place to stay. The response effort continues as officials assess the economic and emotional toll, while searches for anyone missing continue in affected neighborhoods.
