At approximately 11 p.m. on June 8 during a severe weather event, a tornado struck the KTXS facility, causing significant damage, destroying our tower and impacting much of the building. We are thankful there were no injuries at the station.
Our team is working quickly to assess the damage and find a solution to bring KTXS back on air as soon as possible. The garage caved in and the roof of the studio was blown away from the strong winds gusting over 80 mph. KTXS meteorologists Caiden Dinkins and Mark Rowlett were tracking the storms right up until the moment it hit the station. "You don’t ever expect to experience something like that," she said. "The power went out in the studio and the whole entire station and we were walking back into the studio. You just feel this, almost, suction kind of taking you with these winds as this roof is pulling off. My ears popped, I felt like I was gravitating towards that area that was opening and me and Mark just, all we could do was take cover and hope for the best."We appreciate your patience as we begin the next steps in this process.
