DFW Area Tornadoes

[joeywa]

For those of you in DFW area, especially Ellis County, Collin County, DeSoto, Rowlett, Mesquite, Garland, Wylie and the east side of Dallas, I hope you and your families are safe. 

WFAA reporting 11 tornadoes confirmed on the ground, discussion that at least one was an EF5.  Also reported that the debris field was 1.5 miles wide.

7 deaths at last count.  Bad deal all the way around.  Keep those folks in your prayers.

Folks in Sunnyvale, Rowlett, east Garland and then north to Farmersville got it the worst.

Four of the 7 deaths happened when the tornado blew cars, trucks and SUVs off a I-30 bridge (near Bush Turnpike) and onto the service road below.

Unfortunately, 7 is probably not your final number. There are neighborhoods they haven't been able to get into yet. This was really bad. I heard F4 about an hour ago. Maybe they upgraded that since then.

11 by last count.

It appears Rowlett was hit the hardest, but that's yet TBD. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/show/cbsdfw-com-live-video-2/
