The National Weather Service in Fort Worth says most of the damage caused by Thursday’s storm came from the straight-line winds that ripped through the area.
The NWS says it was a swath of damaging straight-line winds that impacted the marina on the far southeast corner of Lake Lewisville.
Survey teams observed extensive damage to the metal roofing across several rows of docks at the marina on the far southeast corner of Lake Lewisville.
Damage included bent support poles and a loss of roofing on smaller buildings in the area. All of the damage was consistent with peak wind gusts of 90 miles per hour.
Winds ahead of Thursday’s pacific cold front were measured at 60 to 87 mph, causing widespread damage across the entire DFW metroplex.
Survey teams determined there was only one tornado embedded within the straight line wind field, an EF-1 tornado with wind up to 110 mph touching down in Hopkins County, located northeast of the DFW.
