DALLAS — Officials are surveying the damage left behind after severe storms battered northeast Texas Friday by way of heavy rain, damaging winds and multiple tornadoes.
A tornado watch was issued for 36 Texas counties Friday afternoon, including Dallas County, but extended all the way through Oklahoma and into parts of Arkansas before it expired about 8 p.m.
In that time, multiple confirmed tornadoes touched down, including one over Point — 17 miles southeast of Greenville — as it headed toward Sulphur Springs. The storm system continued near East Texas cities of New Boston, Naples, Brookston and Paris.
