North Texas communities are reeling from the effects of a severe storm this past weekend that left six people injured and two dead, including one in Springtown and another in Runaway Bay.
According to the National Weather Service, two tornadoes touched down in North Texas Saturday night, April 25 — one in Parker County and one in Wise County. The NWS confirmed the Runaway Bay tornado, which was rated an EF-2, had peak winds of 135 mph and the EF-1 tornado in Springtown had estimated peak winds of 105 mph.
While these two communities faced the brunt of the storm damage, Azle was not entirely spared from its own post-storm challenges — some of which remained in effect Monday morning.
