Transcript 0:24
this past weekend, unleashing
0:25
destructive hail, ferocious winds, and
0:28
widespread damage. age. Around Sunday
0:30
afternoon into the evening, heavy storms
0:32
battered towns like Sanger and Gene.
0:35
Hail blanketed yards and rooftops. Power
0:37
was knocked out to thousands, and winds
0:39
strong enough to rip off roofs and flip
0:42
tractor trailers, snarled traffic, and
0:44
damaged structures.

1:08
back at it again.
1:11
No, this is crazy, y'all. We got on just
1:13
in time.
1:14
One of the hardest hit areas was Sanger
1:16
at a Walmart distribution center. A
1:18
massive section of the roof collapsed. A
1:20
hole estimated at 40 to 50 feet across
1:23
opened up under the force of wind and
1:25
storm damage. Nearby RVs at a dealership
1:28
were flipped and one person was
1:30
critically injured.

1:53
Along Interstate 35 East, three 18-wheel
1:57
tractor trailers were overturned by high
1:59
wind gusts just south of Sanger. Hail
2:01
fell in abundance. In Sanger, backyards
2:04
were covered in hail, P-sized to larger,
2:07
making landscapes look like winter
2:09
scenes well ahead of schedule. These
2:12
storms moved through rapidly, but with
2:14
enough power to cause damage to
2:15
property, crops, and risk to public
2:18
safety.
2:26
We go looking.
2:39
They're just little size. Let's go
2:40
through and get one.
2:43
Oh my goodness. Now they're getting
2:45
bigger.
2:52
Officials in Denton County reported
2:53
signs of tornatic rotation just before
2:56
5:30
2:58
p.m. local time. It remains unclear
3:01
whether any part of the damage came
3:03
directly from tornadoes or from straight
3:05
line winds. The National Weather Service
3:08
has not confirmed any tornado touchdowns
3:10
yet in connection with this event.
3:40
We're on track.
3:42
The storms also disrupted life beyond
3:44
physical damage. Power outages,
3:47
emergency response, and safety hazards
3:50
extended across affected areas. With
3:52
roofs compromised, trees downed,
3:55
vehicles damaged, roads blocked, and
3:57
debris scattered, cleanup and recovery
4:00
are underway.
4:12
Oh, that was a golf ball. We got golf
4:15
ball size, ladies and gentlemen. Yep,
4:18
there it is. I see it.
4:22
We got golf ball size.
4:25
Oh, there's
4:26
weather maps and spotter reports show
4:28
multiple hail events recently in Texas,
4:30
particularly in the Dallas Fort Worth
4:32
region. Hailstones of various sizes were
4:35
reported. Many cases where hail caused
4:38
material damage.
4:41
My wife's car not getting hit.
4:57
Meteorological agencies continue to
4:59
monitor the risk of additional severe
5:01
weather, noting instability in the
5:03
atmosphere and wind shear that may
5:05
further fuel storms. One person remains
5:08
in critical condition from injuries
5:11
sustained during the storm. Thankfully,
5:14
no widespread loss of life has been
5:16
reported at this time.
5:18
Okay, we're safe though. There's no
5:21
tornadoes in this wind, but no
5:23
tornadoes.
5:29
Okay, bye.
5:34
Local
5:43
authorities are urging residents to stay
5:45
alert, secure outdoor items, avoid
5:48
travel during active storms, and follow
5:50
warnings issued by the National Weather
5:52
Service.
