Tornadoes ripped through Northeast Texas Friday, leaving widespread damage in several communities. At least 50 homes were either damaged or destroyed near Paris, Texas.
The Lamar County Sheriff’s Department reported ten people were injured, but there were no fatalities. Homes were also damaged near Sulphur Springs, Texas. Further south, damage was reported to a manufacturing building in the town of Athens.
The storms were part of a large weather complex that also brought severe weather to 3 other states. Early estimates indicate at least 18 tornadoes tore through Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma–where one person was killed.
