Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins issued a disaster declaration Tuesday morning because of the severe storms that damaged homes and businesses.
The 6 a.m. storms brought winds above 80 miles per hour and dropped up to baseball-sized hail on parts of North Texas. Heavy rain also prompted flood warnings from the National Weather Service.There was so much damage to a building on Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas that people calling 911 reported it had collapsed. First responders found the walls of the building still intact, but the strong winds had blown a significant amount of debris off the roof.
"More than half a million Oncor customers in North Texas, including about 380,000 customers in Dallas County, are dealing with power outages following the storms.Oncor said it has deployed both assessment and repair crews to address the outages."We understand this is a very frustrating time for folks to be without power.
