Widespread Damage Reported as Tornado Makes Its Way Through North Dallas

A tornado hit north Dallas late on October 20, with initial reports suggesting it had caused “widespread damage” in the region.

Local media noted, “multiple reports of damage were made along Interstate-635 in North Dallas — where cars, houses and businesses all were destroyed.”

Dallas resident Philip Ellis captured footage of the tornado touching down in the city, posting it to Facebook with the warning: “take cover Dallas.”

In the early hours of October 21, the National Weather Service stated that a “fast-moving line of storms” was continuing to move rapidly east at 50-55mph throughout northern and central Texas. Credit: Philip Ellis via Storyful
