7:01 PM CDT Friday April 13, 2007 A tornado was reported in Ft. Worth and traveled through the metroplex along with this fast moving storm system. In Plano, it was raining sideways so hard I couldn’t see the road. I had to follow the curb to turn into my driveway. Cold rain and hail were coming down hard, but I parked under the carport, and waded through the flooded parking lot to the safety of home. We lost cable TV but at least the power stayed on and the internet connection stayed up. Ahh, spring in North Texas!

Storms also canceled a Cheap Trick concert, and a series of promotional appearances by race car drivers in downtown Fort Worth.

Officer D. York of the Richland Hills PD snapped this cell phone photo of a funnel cloud in Richland Hills. The storm killed one and injured five others, and caused significant damage to buildings in and around Fort Worth. East Dallas was also hit by high winds and heavy rain, and more than 20,000 homes were without power.
