So far I'm hearing some wind damage, but nothing too major, primarily trees and down wires. The main problem has been lightning, 8000+ strikes recorded in the last couple of hours. I can't recall power outages being this extensive up here. WBAP knocked off the air for a while, DFW airport and Love Field both had terminals and towers lose power. Storm has been gone from N. Tarrant Co. for more than a half hour, but am still hearing lots of loud thunder.

Also, it would be a good idea to stay off the phones until morning. Several requests from authorities asking folks to limit their calls, as much of the cell phone and landline network is down or swamped.
