A likely tornado ripped roofs off buildings and damaged trees near Denton in another day of severe weather across North Texas.
Denton County Emergency Services Chief Jody Gonzalez said Sunday that multiple rescues had been performed from flooded streets and homes in Krum, a small town located about 50 miles northwest of Dallas due to rising flood waters in the area.
At about 2:18 p.m., a rain-wrapped tornado was confirmed on the ground near Golden Triangle Mall and headed toward downtown Denton, sounding warning sirens across the county.
The National Weather Service received several reports of EF-0 and EF-1-type damage associated with the tornado including downed power lines, trees and street signs, including some damage to a small housing subdivision near Moss Creek Road and U.S. 377 between Denton and Argyle.
"I just started feeling it," said Cesar Ranchos. "It's bad, it's bad. It started raining and then the wind, and then I look at it and it started forming."
Ranchos shot video of the tornado along U.S. 377.
"It was right here at the entrance and it was some low hanging clouds, I'd say about 50 to 100 feet off the ground and it looked like it was spinning real slow," said Forrest Lowrei. "And then it started to speed up a bit and that's when the water hit me."
