The latest news from around North Texas.
On Gutierrez's block, neighbors are helping neighbors clean up and cover up holes in their roofs.
"We were fighting that wind. It was a booger bear!" he said.
Gutierrez says he hid in his hallway during the storm then saw the aftermath.
"I went 'Oh my God,' I've never seen anything this bad before," he recalled.

"It's just one thing after another after another," he said.
For now, the priority is preserving what's left and hoping protections they've put in place hold up.
In the past 48 hours, State Farm says it's received nearly 3,000 claims.
Dallas Fire Rescue says they've determined 104 structures are destroyed, 286 have major damage, 344 have minor damage.
