Overview

  • Denton County reported a 40–50 foot hole in the Walmart distribution center roof in Sanger.
  • A separate warehouse at 6100 N. Stemmons Freeway saw its walls and roof collapse, with no injuries reported.
  • Strong winds flipped three 18-wheelers on northbound I-35E near Ganzer Road as first responders closed the highway.
  • Several RVs were damaged in Sanger, including at a nearby dealership where one person was transported in critical condition.
  • The county activated its Emergency Operations Center, deployed the 'Goliath' mobile command unit, restored more than half of roughly 3,700 peak outages, and awaits an NWS determination on tornado versus straight-line winds.
