Several rounds of severe weather, including reported tornadoes and monster hail, left damage across north Texas on Thursday, injuring at least four.
The storms were part of a multi-state severe weather outbreak, which stretched from the Southern Plains into the Midwest. St. Louis saw a few rounds of severe weather, including an EF1 tornado.
Texas also saw a few waves of severe weather. The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth reports homes were damaged near Highway 69 in Hunt County, including damaged roofs and downed utility poles. The extent of damage from a reported tornado near Farmersville, Texas was not immediately known, but at least four people were injured when a farmhouse and a mobile home were destroyed northeast of the area near the town of Merit.
Denton, about 40 miles north of Dallas-Fort Worth, saw two rounds of monster hail drive through the town less than two hours apart Thursday evening.
The first storm pounded the area around 4 p.m. CT, dropping baseball-sized hail. Several pictures surfaced on Twitter showing damage to cars.
The second round rolled through around 5:45 p.m. CT — this time, prompting a tornado warning for Denton County.
The National Weather Service says an 82 mph wind gust was recorded at the airport. Egg-sized hail was also reported with the second cell.
