A chaotic scene unfolded around Dallas early Tuesday morning as a line of intense storms blasted the city before sunrise, upending travel before the morning commute following the extended Memorial Day weekend. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins issued a disaster declaration Tuesday morning in the wake of the severe storms.
A 77-mph wind gust was clocked at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport at 5:47 a.m., CDT, contributing to more than 600 flight delays and 270 cancellations at the airport, according to FlightAware.
The hurricane-force wind gusts caused havoc across the area, snapping tree limbs and bringing down power lines.
Nearly 500,000 homes and businesses across Texas were without power as of early Wednesday morning, according to PowerOutage.us, including over 200,000 outages in Dallas County. Power outages could last for several days in the hardest-hit areas, according to WFAA.

Scrap the Boeing, Clyde!..................
Split my mature tree, with half landing on my son’s car.
Ugh!
I am glad you are ok
Our power went out at 6:00 am yesterday and came back on around 6:10 pm last night.
Power is still out where my wife works in Richardson.
So sorry to hear that
Burn baby, burn!
North DFW here, my panels are fine and the Tesla is snug as a bug in the steel building next to the main house. We had marble sized hail and at least 60 mph winds. Power flickered but the grid in this area never dropped for a few seconds out I only knew it because the system went into island mode a couple of times alerting my app I was off grid then back on grid.
BTTT
Hanging in there! I have to make it to election day or I’ll miraculously start voting Democrat from the grave.
