Texas Tornadoes: At Least 6 People Killed in Natural Disaster to Hit State, Fatalities May Rise

By

Heavy tornadoes hit North Texas overnight, killing at least people, CNN reported. Rescue crews searched Thursday in hopes of finding seven more missing people.

"We're still working to identify people," Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds told reporters about the deaths.

The six deaths were in a Habitat for Humanity neighborhood of about 110 homes called the Rancho Brazos subdivision, Deeds said. Three people were taken to an area hospital, and 13 others were taken to hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

At least six people were killed after a twister touched down southeast of Granbury, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth, Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds announced in a midnight press conference.

Up to 100 more were injured, some critically.

The Granbury neighborhoods of Ranchos Brazos Estates and DeCordova Ranch suffered most of the damage.

"They were probably 75 homes in [the Rancho Brazos] subdivision that are totally destroyed," Deeds said. We haven't had a bad one like this for a while."

A tornado at a mile-wide reached 80 mph winds as it passed through Cleburne, the Dallas Morning News reported. Injuries were also reported there, NBC reported.

Another twister hit Milsap, about 40 miles west of Fort Worth.

A tornado warning issued earlier for southwestern Ellis County, north central Hill County and southeastern Johnson has expired, the Huffington Post reported.
