At least 10 tornadoes ripped through North Texas Monday afternoon, leaving trails of destruction, dozens of injuries and at least one person dead.
The National Weather Service of Fort Worth spent Tuesday surveying the damage from Monday’s severe weather. They determined the following:An EF-2 tornado hit the Sherwood Shores community in Grayson County with wind speeds up to 130 mph.An EF-1 tornado hit east of Bowie in Montague County with max winds up 100 mph.An EF-1 tornado hit Tarrant County in River Oaks with speeds up to 100 mph.
The Jacksboro community in Jack County spent much of the day cleaning up after a powerful EF-3 tornado destroyed several homes and heavily damaged the high school and elementary school. "You see the damage here. We're in the direct path, the major area where we received damaged. And it's just a miracle," he said fighting back tears.
Russ Ray barely made it into the bathroom of his Jacksboro home Monday afternoon when the EF-3 tornado tore through his neighborhood. That reality is finding a place to stay. His home was destroyed. Harmonson and his son spent the day moving out what little was left to salvage."They were terrified. They were inside when it hit," he said. "They ran into a pantry door and tried to hide into it. Thank God they were safe."
Clean-up in the devastated neighborhood has become a family affair. Relatives of all ages showed up to help loved ones and strangers pick up the pieces.
