Tornado, Severe Storm Damage In North Texas

A tornado hit the Arlington area Tuesday night as a line of thunderstorms pounded North Texas, leaving damage in Arlington and Grand Prairie, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth and local authorities.

No serious injuries were reported in the storms.

Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth believe a twister hit the Arlington area based on radar data. A survey team will be out Wednesday in the hardest-hit areas.

“They will be out to determine how intense the winds were at that time,” said meteorologist Jason Dunn with the National Weather Service in a telephone interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “They also will be out to try and track it and how wide it was.”

Dunn said a tornado in November is not rare in North Texas. “We could get a tornado any month of the year here,” Dunn said.
