A destructive storm marched across the United States, spawning tornadoes that touched down in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana, where two deaths were reported
, and it delivered blizzard-like conditions to the Great Plains and threatened more severe weather Wednesday in the South.
Five tornadoes were confirmed across north Texas as of Tuesday afternoon based on video and eyewitness reports, but, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas, reported. “There’s essentially no one traveling right now,” said Justin McCallum, a manager at the Flying J truck stop at Ogallala, Nebraska.
A possible tornado blew the roof off the city’s service center — a municipal facility — and left pieces of the roof hanging from powerlines, said Trent Kelley, deputy director of Grapevine Parks and Recreation.Photos sent by the city showed downed power lines on rain-soaked streets, as well as toppled trees, damaged buildings and a semitrailer that appeared to have been tossed around a parking lot.
