An EF2 tornado tore through Runaway Bay, Texas, on Saturday night, lifting entire homes off their foundations and leaving the North Texas town in shambles. One person died in the storm, and at least 20 families have been displaced.
The damage in Runaway Bay is part of a wider death toll in the region, according to the source, which said the twister was not the only life lost. Runaway Bay sits in North Texas, where the storm’s force was enough to rip homes loose and force families out in the aftermath.
What happened in Runaway Bay was not a brief scare or a patch of roof damage. An EF2 tornado with the power to move entire houses turned a neighborhood into a disaster zone in a matter of minutes, and the cost is already measured in one life lost and dozens of people without a home to return to. The next question is how many more families will be counted among the displaced as officials assess the full extent of the destruction.
