Tornadoes rip through Texas, devastating neighborhoods
- 12 years ago
Aftermath in Texas.
As many as a dozen tornadoes ripped through Dallas-Fort Worth Tuesday , tearing apart homes, tossing tractor-trailer trucks into the air and injuring at least 17 people. So far there have been no fatalities reported from the tornados.
Many of the 6.3 million area residents were forced to scramble for safety as the storm bore down during the early afternoon.
On Tuesday evening, the storm system moved east into Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana with the potential of producing high winds and more tornadoes.
The U.S. tornado season started early this year. Tornadoes have been blamed for 57 deaths so far in 2012 in the Midwest and South. 2011 was the deadliest year in nearly a century for unpredictable storms.
