At 3:30AM CST straight line winds in excess of 80MPH ripped through my apartment complex in Carrollton, TX. Most of the trees suffered severe damage. Several cars were damaged, especially one Dodge Stratus (completely crushed under a tree), by falling debris. Traffic lights were tossed to the ground on the corner.

  • hi drright71, do you know if that day we had just a very strong wind or that actually was a tornado? i live close to old denton and hebron, and a huge power line pole came down. i never knew what really happened there!

  • Officially it was straight line wind damage. But the damage path flows into what was officially declared a weak tornado in Plano/Allen.

  • Well according to the NWS, what hit here was just straight line winds. BUT, from the damage path it did develop into a small tornado when it moved on into Plano and Allen.

  • yea that storm was freaky!

  • It certainly made me more mindful of this season's storms. My weather radio is always on alert now... I'm not getting caught off guard again.

  • I remember that storm. That was awesome yet scary. It was like....3:45am when I woke up. About 5 seconds after I woke up the power went out. Then I heard my phone ring. It was my dad. Calling at 3:50am. He told me there was a Tornado coming towards me. So I went in my moms bedroom she was already awake though. Me, my mom, and brother looked out the it was raining so hard we couldn't see the house across th street. And get this....somebody was walking their dog in this. No joke! That storm wasfun

  • Walking their DOG?! OMG HAHAHA!

    I like cats... LOL!
