One tornado was spotted
on the ground five miles east of downtown Dallas, the National Weather
Service said. All flights at Dallas-Fort Worth airport were grounded and
passengers and airport employees were moved into shelters as the storm
system spawned multiple funnel clouds. Flights at Dallas Love Field
airport were also grounded.
A tornado warning was issued for Arlington, Texas, which had already been struck.
"There may be storms
behind the storms, making damage in places that already have damage and
that now is happening for Arlington, Texas," said CNN meteorologist Chad
Myers.
Severe damage was reported in the cities of Arlington and Kennedale by Kennedale spokeswoman Amethyst Cirmo.
A large water main broke
and several people were injured, she said, though she could not
immediately confirm how many. A community center was opened to residents
displaced by the storm.
A spokeswoman for Dallas County said she had heard of damage throughout the area.
Video from CNN affiliate
WFAA broadcast dramatic footage of the scene, showing tractor trailers
being lifted and tossed through the air like matchsticks. Ominous clouds
filled the skies, making it as dark as night. The network showed roofs
of homes ripped off and trailers turned on their sides.
By Tuesday afternoon,
all tornado warnings for the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area were
canceled or allowed to expire, the National Weather Service said. A
tornado watch continued to be in effect for north-central Texas.
The weather service urged people in the area to move to a bathroom, closet or hallway on the lowest floor of their buildings and take cover.
