National Weather Service meteorologist Jesse Moore said that 10 to 12 tornadoes touched down during a massive storm that brought chaos from high winds, rain and hail to the nation's fourth most populous metropolitan area. Many of the 6.3 million area residents were forced to scramble for safety as the storm bore down during the early afternoon, when schools and workplaces were open. Hundreds of homes and businesses were damaged, some of them extensively, but no one was reported killed or seriously injured. "We've seen roofs blown off, houses totally flattened, tractor- trailers knocked over," Moore said. "It was a bad day weather- wise for north Texas." One tornado lifted trucks like toys in the Flying J Truck Plaza in Dallas, said truck driver Michael Glennon, who caught the destruction on his video camera as debris swirled through the air. "The second trailer is ripped to pieces and thrown 50 to 100 feet into the air," he told Reuters. Video broadcast of a truck parking lot showed a row of trailers peeled open and others piled on top of each other. The storm system was moving east into Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana with the potential of producing high winds and more tornadoes on Tuesday evening, Moore said.
