Tornadoes slam North Texas, killing at least 6 people GRANBURY, Texas, May 16 (UPI) -- A blitz of tornadoes ripped North Texas Wednesday night, killing at least six people and inflicting widespread damage and injuries, authorities said. Dallas TV stations WFAA-TV and KDFW-TV reported the death toll had reached at least six with the hardest-hit area a subdivision near Granbury in Hood County. KDFW-TV said Hood County officials confirmed six people died in the tornado, 16 were critically injured and multiple homes were damaged. Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds told the TV station there were 14 people unaccounted for, meaning the death toll could go higher. The Dallas Morning News reported dozens of people were injured and power was out in much of the storm-damaged area. KDFW-TV said authorities estimated there were at least 10 tornadoes, including reports of one a mile wide, spawned by a line of severe storms. The Dallas TV station said Hood County officials said 16 people were critically injured. The mile-wide twister, with winds about 80 mph, hit 2 miles south of Cleburne in Johnson County. Multiple injuries were reported as a result of that funnel cloud. The Red Cross said initial indications were Hood County was the hardest-hit, followed by Johnson, Parker, Wise and Montague. Cleburne Mayor Scott Cain told WFAA-TV downed power lines posed a danger to some people trying to get out of their homes. "They're safe right now," he said. Granbury Mayor Pro Tem Nin Hulet told WFAA-TV, "We've got a lot of injuries out there right now" and confirmed more than 50 homes were damaged or destroyed, with the worst of it in the Rancho Brazos subdivision just outside the city limits. Lake Granbury Christian Temple Pastor Dean Porter said the storm struck while he was holding a Bible study in the fellowship hall. "It began to suck up debris, and I ran inside and got our people and children into a safer location," he said. Apparently what happened was, the tornado formed over us and touched down on the other end of our property. "There are a lot of traumatic injuries," Donna Martin, a worker at a veteran's organization in Hood County said. My husband told me that a car was lifted in the air. It just came in and hit so fast. At Stumpy's Lakeside Grill in Lake Granbury, the storm took diners and workers by surprise. Some people rushed inside from the patio and ducked under tables as the wind gusts and hail started, but nobody was injured, said Eric Martinez, a cook at Stumpy's Lakeside Grill in Lake Granbury, said he saw several homeowners' boat docks "just get torn apart" by the high winds.
