At least 4 fatalities


With the heavy population of the hit areas, I guess that is not terrible, but one life lost is one too many...

Four people have died after severe storms spawned several tornadoes Saturday afternoon and evening in North Texas, officials tell NBC 5.

WATCH: Tornado Warnings in NTX

Garland police confirmed four fatalities at about 8:10 p.m.

If this stays at 5 fatalities (one unconfirmed) it will be somewhat miraculous.

I know that doesn't help the families of those five.

But this could've been (or could be) way worse.

people are generally more aware from March-August. I live just southeast of Fort Worth, and when the initial front passed over it barely made a sound

I was watching chasers earlier and quit because all Inwas watching was lightening flashes and windshield wipers.

That's a solid 3 from the pic.

Passed through there earlier today. Just posted up in Amarillo. It is super windy and snow is allegedly on the way.

We might. I used to go to ORBC when OCS was starting up.

At least. From a casualty standpoint, you hope that's all it was.

It hit near I-30 and Bush Turnpike and moved north through Rowlett. This was a close one. 5 miles more north and my house was in the path.

The damage I'm seeing makes me wonder if it was a 4. Looks bad.

First 4 confirmed fatalities were at I 30 and the Bush Parkway within 1000 feet of each other in vehicles.

The other 2 in a collapsed gas station in Copeville.

I understand. Bad stuff - I expect that the fatality rate will be significantly higher by the morning. It was a big and long lasting tornado through a major metropolitan area.
