Last week's tornado isn't keeping Ennis from dancing.

The 47th annual National Polka Festival begins Friday night as planned, even as Ennis continues to recover from the EF-1 tornado that blew through the heart of the small city.

A number of businesses remain closed but hope to reopen soon. But others are in limbo, and there is concern that many historic buildings will have to be torn down.

"We had some worries since so much of our downtown is blocked off, but our city has done a great job at redirecting the parade," said Puddin McCarty, owner of Puddin's Cafe. "I love that it's going down a neighborhood street. It will have a sense of community."

McCarty said the recovery effort will also help ensure a strong turnout for this year's festival.

"I think a lot of people are coming home not just for the polka festival; I think a lot of people are coming home to help support our community," she said.

The polka festival is one of the largest annual events in the city and is a driving force for small businesses in the community.

"It's a large event for our economy, because we fill our hotels, our restaurants are happy and also our retailers," said Jeannette Patak, Ennis Chamber of Commerce president.

The Chamber of Commerce believes the festival is on track to maintain its financial boost to the economy. This year's festival has 150 vendors, the same as last year. The chamber had to turn away additional vendors for space reasons, Patak said.

The National Polka Festival celebrates Czech heritage. It's held annually during Memorial Day weekend.

The festival begins at 7 p.m. Friday with an opening dance featuring polka music and the King and Queen Dance Contest, where participants and nonparticipants are encouraged to wear traditional Czech kroj (folk costumes).

The downtown festivities begin at 10 a.m. Saturday with a parade with floats, bands and colorful costumes.

Despite a soaking the Oklahoma City metro area received Thursday morning, hundreds of parents showed up at schools in Oklahoma City to reunite with teachers from the two schools hit hard by this week's twister in Moore, Okla.

Outside of Plaza Towers elementary's reunion,  the parking lot was packed.

Carly Rodriguez picked up her daughter from early Pre-K that morning and feels lucky. She showed up with thank you cards for the teachers.

"Thank you for everything they've done for us, for everything they taught her in first year of school," she said.

Scott Lewis also picked his son up from Plaza Towers. He picked him up just minutes before the tornado hit. Lewis's family rode it out in their storm shelter. He now knows some of the children who died were in his son's classroom.

"I have mixed feelings about being able to get my son to safety and other parents couldn't get there, some were tied in traffic and just weren't able to get to their children," said Lewis.

Lewis said last night he was able to get the newspaper and point out to his son friends that "did not make it out from the storm."

"This will bring a little more impact to what happened because you're not going to see some of your friends," said Lewis, about his son.

It will be a long healing process, parents acknowledge. Thursday though, as they expressed gratitude, they also felt comfort in knowing they're surrounded by such amazing educators who will be there to provide support during that healing process.

A Moore, Okla., woman says a passer-by pulled her from the rubble of her home minutes after Monday's deadly tornado.

Lynne Holman was trapped in the ruins of her bathroom, buried alive beneath pieces of her roof and house. The bathroom walls are the only ones walls in her house still standing.

"I'm shaking just thinking about it," she said. "It was really scary."

Holman just moved to Moore about seven months ago. She lived about half a mile away from Plaza Towers Elementary, which was also destroyed.

"I started feeling the wind on my feet as if I didn't have any shoes on, and it started to grab at my feet," she said. "I was thinking, 'I can't lay here; it's going to take me,' and so I like army-crawled into the bathroom."

Then Holman heard and felt the house fall around and on her.

"And to hear the house come apart and just to hear everything crashing around -- all I could do was scream," she said. "That was all I could do, was scream."

In the chaos, she heard a voice.

"But I started yelling, 'I'm in here,' and some guy came around and he goes, 'Oh, my God,'' she said. "He started pulling stuff off of me and got me out of the house."

When Holman returned on Wednesday, she found another survivor -- her kitten.

Her boyfriend called for the kitten, and they heard an answering meow.

"We started hearing this meow, and she came out. She was alive; she's not hurt," she said.

"It was incredible to see her come out of the rubble," Holman said.

McKinney has begun to clean up damage left by Tuesday's storms.

Major wind gusts downed tree branches, pulled off loose shingles and caused other property damage.

"I'd say 60 to 70 mph at least -- it was really snapping trees left and right down here," Bill Cunningham said.

A mature tree near a home owned by his mother-in-law had split, hanging precariously above the property.

"It split down the middle, and the wind twisted it a little bit right over a shed, so they had to do something quick before it crashed into the shed," he said.

James Watt, owner of DFW Treetrimming, said his phone has been ringing off the hook since Tuesday afternoon with requests for tree removal in McKinney, Dallas, Coppell and other parts of the Metroplex.

"There were trees on top of houses, trees were split, about to go through the car," he said. "It just hasn't stopped."

The city of McKinney has also been responding to tree and branch removal calls.

A Lewisville woman whose brother lost his home in the Oklahoma tornado asked for donations for the victims -- and is overwhelmed by the response from friends, neighbors and even strangers.

Jennifer Lemmo asked for help Tuesday morning in an email to her church, First United Methodist of Carrollton; her children's schools, Castle Hills Elementary and Prince of Peace Lutheran Church; and her neighbors in the Castle Hills neighborhood.

"I felt hopeless, and I felt like I needed to do something," she said.

Others forwarded the email to more people, and word of her request quickly spread.

By the end of the day, the donations of water, toiletries and other items could barely fit in several rooms of her house.

"When the donations started coming in this morning at 8 o'clock, I had a little pile," she said. "And then by 9 o'clock, the pile grew. And then I started taking pictures and every hour, it just grew and grew and grew."

"I'm amazed," she said. "I know there's good people out there. They want to help. And I'm so proud of North Texas."

More donations came in after NBC 5's Tuesday night story on her donation drive.

People showed up at her front door Wednesday morning before the sun was up.

"Everyone that's wanting to give to Moore, Okla., is just breathtaking," she said. "It's amazing."

The crowd helped her load up the large donated U-Haul truck. The donations almost completely filled the truck.

"I saw pictures before I got here and I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' She did amazing; amazing," said Kelli Delgado, a friend who came from Austin to help.

Lemmo's brother, John Norman, lived across the street from Briarwood Elementary School, which was destroyed in Monday's tornado. He and his family survived but lost nearly everything they own, she said.

She plans to take the donations to Oklahoma on Wednesday with in a large truck donated by U-Haul.

Lemmo pulled out of Lewisville at about 10 a.m. to drive straight to Moore. She is taking her haul to area relief centers, as well as the American Red Cross -- after she gives her brother and nephews a big hug.

"I have shed so many tears and now I'm shedding tears of happiness knowing we're going to put a big hug and smile on the people of Moore," she said.

NBC 5's Brian Scott contributed to this report.

Several North Texas school districts are dismissing early Tuesday or canceling afternoon events due to the threat of severe weather.

With the threat of severe weather forecasted Tuesday in North Texas, districts began taking a cautionary approach by dismissing early.

At about 10:45 a.m. Tuesday at Cleburne's Gerard Elementary, several students boarded buses for early dismissal.  Alvarado said, in a tweet, that they will be releasing students at noon and that a normal bus schedule will begin at that time. 

Early in the afternoon, officials with the Arlington, Grand Prairie and Dallas school districts canceled after-school events.

See a complete list of early dismissals and closings here (though not all districts are posting after school event statuses to this system).

The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for several North Texas counties until 10 p.m.

The full listing of counties is as follows:

Brown, Burnet, Callahan, Coleman, Collin, Comanche, Concho, Cooke, Denton, Eastland, Erath, Fannin, Gillespie, Grayson, Hamilton, Hood, Jack, Kerr, Kimble, Lampasas, Llano, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, Mills, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Runnels, San Saba, Shackelford, Somervell, Stephens, Taylor, Throckmorton, Wise and Young.

At this time, Dallas, Tarrant, Johnson, Ellis, Kaufman and Rockwall counties are not included in the tornado watch, according to the National Weather Service.

A hazardous weather outlook is in place for most of North Texas, where thunderstorms are expected to form along a dry line mostly west of the Metroplex.

Severe storms remain likely with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threats.  Isolated tornadoes are also possible.

The threat is expected to continue into Tuesday night before things quiet down ahead of the weekend.

As many as three tornadoes may have hit in Young County on Friday night, according to the sheriff.

The Young County Sheriff Bryan Walls said the tornadoes were near Eliasville. One house that took a direct hit was damaged, the sheriff said.

There are uprooted trees, and one roadway is blocked with debris, he said.

The storms also produced baseball-sized hail in the area after the apparent tornadoes.

No injuries have been reported.

The North Texas branch of a Christian relief organization is putting together essentials for victims of this week's tornado outbreak.

Volunteers with World Vision are assembling packages in a warehouse tucked away in Grand Prairie. In assembly-line fashion, important items go into a bright orange pouch.

"Toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, anything associated with a first-aid kit, will fit right into this packet," volunteer Charles Davis said.

At the end, they add a personal touch -- a handwritten note of encouragement.

"[I'm] just telling them to hang in there, dig in, rebuild, be strong, that we're pulling for them," Elizabeth Marks said.

"It makes a difference when someone knows that we're there, along with the others who are responding to this tragedy," said Rafael Munoz, World Vision youth and community engagement organizer.

Hundreds of the packets are going to storm-damaged areas Friday, along with family meal kits and water cleanup kits.

"We just want encourage people to know that we're thinking of them and we know they can come back and they'll all be OK," volunteer Carol Yokell said.

The General Motors Foundation is pledging $500,000 to Habitat for Humanity to help victims recover from Wednesday's rash of tornadoes.

The funds will be used to help restore neighborhoods devastated by Wednesday's storms.

Officials said 97 of the 110 homes in the Rancho Bravo Estates neighborhood were damaged or destroyed by the tornadoes.  Many of the homes were built by Habitat for Humanity.

"Helping Texas residents rebuild and repair their homes is a critical priority for Habitat for Humanity International in the aftermath of the recent tornadoes," said Selim Bingol, vice president, GM Global Communications and Public Policy and Chairman of the GM Foundation. "Through the $500,000 grant from the GM Foundation and the recently donated Chevrolet Express Vans, we are helping the organization immediately provide financial and other important resources to those in need."

Habitat for Humanity is assessing the impact on affordable housing in the affected areas and will assist with clean up, repairs and new construction efforts.
 
Additionally, Chevrolet is sending 24 Express vans donated as mobile response units in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy to Hood, Johnson, Montague, Parker and Wise counties.

"The vans are filled with tools and equipment from Lowe's and Robert Bosch Tool Corporation," the foundation said in a news release.

The GM Foundation's support of Habitat for Humanity in 2013 also includes a $1 million grant for neighborhood revitalization efforts in 12 U.S. cities, including Arlington and Austin, where teamGM Cares volunteers will be deployed this year.

The GM Foundation's support of Texas also includes a recent $100,000 grant to the Red Cross to aid emergency management officials with relief efforts in West, Texas.

The GM Foundation also donates annually to the American Red Cross Disaster Responder Program to ensure the organization has funds to provide immediate relief when disaster strikes.

An outbreak of as many as 16 tornadoes slammed through several small communities Wednesday night, killing six and injuring more than 100. 

The tornadoes, based on preliminary information from the National Weather Service, are believed to have touched down in the following locations. They are not listed in the order in which they developed.

16. Nocona Lake/Montague County
Storm spotters reported this tornado near Nocona Lake in Montague County. Some damage was reported, but additional details were not immediately available.

NWS officials said the first tornado was reported to have occurred at 5:38 p.m. in Montague County and the last was at about 9:45 p.m. southeast of Cleburne.

Residents and electrical crews spent Thursday cleaning up and restoring power in Cleburne as homeowners feel lucky to be alive.

Homes along the roadway are missing entire sections the day after an estimated EF-3 tornado hit three neighborhoods in the Johnson County city.

At a news conference on Thursday, Mayor Scott Cain says the tornado reached speeds of 140 mph and National Weather Service says it had a path 8.5 miles in length.

While damage at Country Club and Hyde Park Drive is significant to some homes, many others only suffered roof or tree damage. 

In one subdivision, near Lake Pat Cleburne, every home is missing some part of its roof.

"We ran inside and got into the kitchen right behind the counters and about that time it hit," said Cleburne resident Jeff Dugger.

Dugger's roof and parts of his second floor are gone, but his wife, kids and dog are all fine. They survived the experience in the kitchen.

"Too early to tell if we're going to need builders or bulldozers," Dugger said.

Dugger says they knew the storm was coming. He says it hit for about seven seconds before lifting. Dugger says his family almost started to get up when it hit a second time for what he said felt "like an eternity." In reality, it was about 15 seconds of swirling glass and falling insulation.

"The house couldn't take much more, we knew when we got covered in insulation that our roof was gone," Dugger said.

Dugger's home is one of more than 600 damaged homes, according to Mayor Scott Cain. 

Cain described 30 of the homes as dramatically damaged. No deaths or serious injuries have been reported in Cleburne – only nine people were treated for minor injuries.

Cain says it's the worst natural disaster to hit his town during his lifetime.

"The amount of damage in the Winchester Edition when I first got there was a bit overwhelming to take it all in," Cain said at a news conference.

Cain and other local leaders credit the National Weather Service and media outlets for spreading word of the storms and preventing any major injuries or loss of life.

"It's hard to look around the neighborhood and think we're lucky," Dugger said. "But everybody, every house here, is shaking their heads here with a smile saying, 'we're lucky.' We're lucky folks."

A curfew is in place for the impacted areas from dusk until dawn. Numerous police agencies are only allowing residents into the damaged areas. Cain issued a strong warning for anyone trying to loot items.

Cleburne leaders and residents have also expressed concerned about the devastation to the west in Granbury and Hood County.

An EF-1 tornado near Amon Carter Lake south of Bowie destroyed a home and a country club and damaged four other homes.

Roy Chapmond said he saw the tornado barreling down on his home at about dinnertime. He and his wife took cover in an interior bathroom.

"The roof just went off, and the walls just collapsed, and we were just standing there -- not a scratch," he said. "You didn't have time to be scared; it was over in like 30 seconds."

The National Weather Service on Thursday said the twister was an EF-1 tornado with winds of up to 100 mph.

Neighbors say they saw it travel from the lake to the Chapmond home, tearing up trees and homes along the way. Most of the homes only had roof and siding damage, Chapmond's house, which he built less than a year ago, was a total loss.

He and his wife said their insurance agent informed them that the damage to their house and classic car collection would be covered.

"They're going to put us up until our home's rebuilt, over and above our insurance. Everything's taken care of," Chapmond said.

But he and his wife made it out OK, which is the real reason to smile, he said.

"Thank God. We love the Lord, and we'll be fine," he said.

The Top O The Lake Country Club's main building was also destroyed in the storm.

"This storm kind of came up unexpectedly," country club owner Greg Underwood said.

Club staff had just closed up for the day and left when the storm ripped the back and roof of the clubhouse completely off, uprooted a giant tree in the back and tore up the golf course.

"It would cost probably $850,000 to $900,000 to replace it, and I don't have that much insurance on it," said Underwood, while looking at the clubhouse.

He said he doesn't know what they will do to replace the building but said the club would clean up the golf course in time for a charity tournament this weekend.

"The golf course is going to continue in the end -- we're confident about that," he said.

The Montague County sheriff says he believes as many as three tornadoes hit the county Wednesday night. He said there also was roof and tree damage near Nocona and rural damage near Belcherville that didn't affect any homes.

No major injuries were reported in the county.

The Humane Society of North Texas and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are lending a hand to help those impacted by Wednesday night's devastating twisters.

Working in partnership with Hood County Animal Control, the HSNT has a team on the ground going door-to-door to rescue trapped animals and return them to their families.

The HSNT said Thursday afternoon they have already rescued about 50 dogs and cats, though more are feared missing.

Volunteers are accepting donations for dog food, cat food and cat litter at their location in Fort Worth at 1840 E. Lancaster Avenue.  Cash donations are being accepted as well.

Animals that were up for adoption in Hood County are being moved to Fort Worth to clear space at shelters in the county.

In Ellis County, the SPCA of Texas has transferred 12 dogs from the Ellis County SPCA to their McKinney facility to make room for animals affected by the storm.  The facility has plenty of room for cats, but was near capacity for dogs before the storm hit.

The overwhelming process of cleaning up after Wednesday night's tornado in Granbury is underway.

In the hardest hit areas, it's still not safe for people to return to their neighborhood. Meanwhile, utility crews are working to repair downed power lines.

"It was huge, absolutely huge," said neighbor Shawn Hanna.  Hanna had been heading home and watched as the massive tornado tore through Granbury.

"We were driving in it and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, it's going to hit the house.' It was on top of the house and he's like, 'We've got to get the dog," said Hanna.

Their house survived with minor damage, but just a quarter mile down the road homes are seriously damaged or destroyed.

"These two houses are the only ones on the road that didn't get effected that we can see.  Everything on down, that we can see, are pretty much up in the trees," Hanna said.

In trying to escape from the twister, Hanna discovered the chaos as people scrambled in the Rancho Brazos subdivision where several of the homes were built through Habitat for Humanity for low income families.

"It was really, really bad.  We out ran it, thank goodness.  But, we were first on the scene at Rancho Brazos.  We were looking for people, hollering for their kids," Hanna recalls.

Hanna said several retirees live in the nearby De Cordova Ranch subdivision where some large homes are leveled.

Seven people are still missing in the aftermath. 

"They're still looking for people we know.  The elderly mom, running around trying to find her friend," Hanna said.

Volunteers are rallying any way they can and are meeting at First United Methodist Church at 301 Loop 567.  People who want to lend a hand should meet on the Loop side and look for the CERT trailer. 
"It's a tight-knit community.  Everyone knows everyone.  We'll all come together.  It's what we do," said Hanna.

Crews are searching through the devastation for other victims and working to identify those who have died.

The sheriff said until the area is safe, residents will not be able to return home.

A North Texas county sheriff says seven people remain unaccounted for after a massive EF-4 tornado claimed six lives.

Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds on Thursday said emergency responders are searching parts of Granbury left devastated.

Deeds said authorities are working to identify the six adults who died in Wednesday night's twister in Granbury, about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

Deeds earlier said 14 people were missing but half were later found with family or friends. Deeds said he hopes that will be the case for the other seven missing people.

He said 37 people were treated at a Granbury hospital and of those, 15 were transported to Fort Worth-area hospitals and 19 were treated and released. The sheriff said three people remain Thursday at Lake Granbury Medical Center.

Officials with the city of Ennis released a map Thursday showing the approximate track of a tornado that touched down in the town Wednesday night.

In the map, the tornado is plotted as moving from the southwest to the northeast, first touching down along Ennis Avenue west of Spur 437/Clay Street.

The tornado then moved along Ennis Avenue, on a northeasterly course, while spreading as far south of Ennis Avenue by as much as four blocks.

The tornado eventually crossed Interstate 45 and headed northeast toward more open farm land.

City officials said Thursday afternoon that damage estimates classified the tornado as an EF-1, with wind speeds between 86-110 mph.

As many as 13 tornadoes are believed to have touched down in North Texas Wednesday night.  One of those, which touched down in Granbury and killed six people, has been rated an EF-4 by the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service says the deadly tornadoes that ripped through Granbury and Cleburne Wednesday, were an EF-4 and an EF-3, respectively.

Granbury's EF-4 between tornado had wind speeds between 160 and 200 mph while Cleburne's EF-3 had wind speeds between 136 mph and 165 mph.

The EF rating determines the strength of a tornado by assessing the damage caused.  From the damage,  the wind speeds and EF-rating are determined. The highest rating on the EF scale is an EF-5.

Preliminary estimates suggest as many as 10 tornadoes touched down across North Texas Wednesday night in Hood, Johnson and Ellis counties.

Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said he hoped the death toll from the tornado would hold at six, with as many as 100 people injured and 250 people left homeless in Hood County.  Additionally, seven people remain missing after the storm.

In Cleburne, the NWS said the most significant damage occurred east of Lake Cleburne.

At this time, officials are determining ratings and confirmations of other tornadoes, including whether damage done in Ellis County was the result of a tornado or straight-line winds.

As the NWS releases more information regarding the strength of Wednesday night's tornadoes, it will be added to this page.

Earl McCoy was asleep when a tornado — one of 16 to tear through North Texas Wednesday night — arrived in Ennis.

He was awoken, not by screaming wind or blaring sirens, but by a drip of water that fell from his ceiling — his only warning of what was to come.

A moment later, the ceiling collapsed. "I jumped up and went to the door and then that fell," McCoy said, pointing to another section of the ceiling. "To be sound asleep, and this piece falls on top of me, and this piece falls right beside me ... it was unreal."

Elizabeth Tovar of Granbury, the hardest-hit area of North Texas, rode out the storm in her tub.

"We were all, like, hugging in the bathtub and that's when it started happening. I heard glass shattering and I knew my house was going," Tovar said. "We looked up and … the whole ceiling was gone."

Three tornadoes that touched down drilled through Hood County around 8 p.m., leaving six dead, seven missing and 250 people homeless, Sheriff Roger Deeds said.

All of the fatalities were in the Rancho Brazos neighborhood, built by Habitat for Humanity volunteers over the last five years.

"Some were found in houses. Some were found around houses," Deeds said. "There was a report that two of these people that they found were not even near their homes. So we're going to have to search the area out there."

The search for survivors, and the dead, began last night at the scene, which Deeds described as "a war zone."

NBC 5 DFW's Scott Gordon, who was in Granbury after the storm hit, said that residents in the area appeared to be "dazed." He said there were not enough stretchers to go around and that children were carried out as driving rain hammered down.

Back in Ennis, Donna Summer was expressing her gratitude for the police and firefighters who checked on her throughout the night. She was working a late shift at a local restaurant when the winds picked up.

"Sounded like a low, whirring, whir noise, like a train. A small train," she said. "I just stayed inside and prayed a lot. Didn't want to get outside. I was afraid to see if we had a town left."

After the power cut out, she said the only lights were those from police and fire vehicles outside.

"About every hour they'd come by and check on me ... make sure the boogeyman don't get me."

Further west in Cleburne, where a mile-wide tornado was reported Wednesday night, Shari East was still processing what she went through.

"I have nightmares about tornadoes every year, and now I lived through one."

East said she heard warning sirens for a few minutes before the storm was upon her.

"It just kind of hit out of nowhere. You could hear it. My husband made us all get in the bathtub and put mattresses over us. He wouldn't get in the bathtub because there wasn't enough room."

East had been on the phone with her daughter, who lives across town, when the call cut off.

"Scary. Never been so scared in my life," she said, adding that she was "amazed that we all lived through it."

The mayor of Cleburne said it's a miracle that no one was killed in his town when the tornado touched down Wednesday night.

Seven people were rushed to the hospital with minor injuries, with mostly minor injuries like scrapes and cuts from broken glass. No one was seriously injured.

NBC 5 talked to the Alaniz family, who lives on the hardest hit street in the town, Country Club Road. Dozens of houses along that street are damaged.

"I wanted it to be over, wanted to make sure my kids were OK," said Melanie Alaniz, a mother of two.

When the storm intensified, Alaniz grabbed her husband, her 11-year-old daughter, 14-year-old son and their three dogs and ran into a small interior closet.

"I'm just thankful. I know this probably is one of the worst [homes] and I'm just so happy everyone's OK," Alaniz said.

Their ears popped in the closet, Alaniz said. They cried. They prayed. And they survived.

When asked how to make sense of the devastation, Alaniz replied: "I don't know. You're going to make me cry. I don't know, somebody was watching over us," she said.

Devastation is all around Cleburne. Trailers are slammed against garages. Windows are shattered. Roofs are ripped apart. Powerlines are snapped in half.

"I thought we were going to die. It was scary," said neighbor Jaime Riffel.
