Supercells moving across North Texas tonight ahead of a cold front have produced multiple tornadoes, including a large and extremely dangerous tornado that crossed the Dallas area between 6-7 p.m. tonight.
It touched down around 6:47 in eastern Dallas County north of Sunnyvale.
It caused damage in and around Garland, where we have heard reports that there may be fatalities.
The tornado then struck Rowlett.
Here is a photo from Fox 4 in Dallas of the tornado near Rowlett.
it went across the lake from Rowlett to Rockwall, rolling cars off the 66 Bridge.
For the past few weeks, we have been keeping our fingers crossed as we were in a position to end the year as the least deadly year in U.S. tornado history. Then Wednesday’s long track deadly tornado carved a 135 mile path across Mississippi and into Tennessee, killing seven. And now this tonight. Our thoughts and prayers are with the folks in North Texas tonight.
