Tornadoes tore through the Dallas area Tuesday, peeling roofs off homes, tossing big-rig trucks into the air and leaving flattened tractor trailers strewn along highways and parking lots.
The National Weather Service confirmed at least two separate "large and extremely dangerous" tornadoes. Several other developing twisters were reported as a band of violent storms crept through the metropolitan area The weather service said the tornado south of Fort Worth caused "considerable damage" near Cleburne.
Damage was also confirmed in Arlington, Kennedale and Lancaster. "The officers were watching the tornadoes form and drop," said Kennedale police Chief Tommy Williams. "It was pretty active for a while."
Thousands of homes had their roofs ripped off, and many were destroyed. In Lancaster, south of Dallas, television helicopters panned over exposed homes without roofs and flattened buildings.

After the tornado struck, Knight said multiple injuries were reported, sending some victims to the hospital. No fatalities were reported, he said. At least 300 structures were damaged, half of them severely, he said.
The city was declared a disaster area and its recreation center was converted into a shelter.

North Texas found itself the scene of an uncharacteristically massive outbreak of suspected tornadoes. However, the National Weather Service says just how many tornadoes comprised the salvo remains a matter of conjecture. Senior Meteorologist Eric Martello of the weather service office in Fort Worth says preliminary estimates were that six to 12 tornadoes were reported in North Texas. However, he says some of those reports may be duplicates.
