Saturday night, destructive storms pushed across North Texas producing tornadoes, giant hail, damaging winds, and devastating flooding. Sadly, this storm was deadly.

The supercell originated in Wichita County around 4 p.m., where the storm quickly broke the capping inversion, allowing the updraft to explode. The supercell slowly moved to the southeast throughout the evening into the overnight, lasting nearly 12 hours before dissipating around 3:30 a.m. in Kaufman County.

This storm caused mass destruction with several confirmed radar indicated tornadoes reported on its path. One of the hardest hit locations was Runaway Bay where a potential tornado struck the area around 8:30 p.m. Saturday night. Destruction to property was significant and neighborhoods were torn apart, leaving many displaced and without power.

The National Weather Service is currently surveying the damage done and will have a report in the upcoming days.

Hail also caused significant damage. The size ranged from pea to baseball size. Some of the largest hail reports include cities in Tarrant and Parker Counties. The hail stone pictured was taken by Craig Gibson, a director at CBS News Texas.

The winds were also a key factor. The maximum wind gust got to 89 mph in Springtown, this is the strength of a category 1 hurricane.

All modes of severe weather happened last night. This is a key reminder of how important it is to stay tuned to the forecast during First Alert Weather Days. Stay tuned!
