We all woke up Tuesday morning to severe weather storming across North Texas.

Winds were blowing as hard as 70mph in some spots, and one of the hardest hit places was DFW Airport which saw wind gusts reaching 77mph!


If you're not sure how strong 77mph winds actually are, video was captured at the airport of an American Airlines plane being pushed away from its gate only by the wind!

According to WFAA, American Airlines said in a statement that "winds affected several parked, unoccupied aircraft," though thankfully there were no injuries.

Maintenance teams are currently working to conduct inspections and make any repairs, if necessary, on the aircrafts.
