PLANO (1080 KRLD)- The City of Plano is reporting they have taken more than 100 emergency calls as of 2:30 p.m. Thursday, after a night of rain and sleet across North Texas. Most of those emergency calls stemmed from fallen tree limbs.
Their Emergency Operation Center reports one tree fell on a house located on Boston Drive while other branches fell on cars or onto roadways. The city's trees are reportedly at greater risk of damage after Winter Storm Yuri in 2021.
Most of North Texas was seeing sleet early Thursday morning, and a transition to snow is possible by mid-morning. The bulk of the precipitation overnight was freezing rain and sleet, according to KRLD's meteorologist Dan Brounoff.
