A tornado-producing thunderstorm struck northern Texas on Saturday night, leading to at least two fatalities and significant destruction in the towns of Runaway Bay and Springtown. Wise County Judge J.D. Clark reported that many homes sustained major damage, and approximately 20 families have been displaced. Emergency responders are working diligently to clear debris and provide medical assistance, although access has been hindered by downed utilities and blocked roadways. The National Weather Service confirmed that an EF-2 tornado with peak winds of 217 kph touched down in Runaway Bay, while an EF-1 tornado with winds of 169 kph was reported in Springtown. The storm system moved southeast from Wichita Falls, close to the Oklahoma border, affecting areas west of Fort Worth. The severe weather also caused widespread power outages, complicating rescue efforts.
