It was a storm that killed investigators
blame the fierce rain, slick roads, high
winds with his three car accident,
three cars destroyed, massive injuries
and death. We know right now we have
three fatalities
in at least four
critical at this point.
It was a storm that destroyed the
fury that hit this Mesquite neighborhood
hard. I saw everything
it come up and down the street right here
and just come up here and straight up the
street, call it a tornado, call
it high winds.
Whatever it was, it came through here.
It tore the roof off this house, left
the family inside unharmed.
It got real quiet.
The rain stopped and
it just right then
I heard a boom and stuff just started
flying across the roofs.
I heard stuff flying down the street and
stuff landed in the street in front
yards. This metal shed was thrown 50
yards.
The shed was three houses down against
a tree.
And the same neighbor that end up
in this piece, A.
was this entire fence
knocked down?
It was a storm that flooded flash
flooding in most places, slowing traffic
down, stranding many cars.
The fences will be replaced, the streets
clean, sidewalks swept, but the
lives taken in this storm can never
be replaced.
