The top winds within the tornado were about 100 miles per hour. The storm tracked on the ground for about half a mile before lifting back into the air. No injuries were reported.
Other communities in North Texas including Benbrook, Mansfield, and Cedar Hill experienced straight-line winds of more than 50 miles per hour.
