Eight confirmed dead in storms in Garland and Collin County, 50,000 without power across North Texas
At least eight people died during an explosion of tornadoes that spread devastation across several North Texas cities as December’s unseasonably mild weather shifted in the most violent of ways.
Five deaths occurred in Garland in what police say were tornado-related traffic accidents near Interstate 30 and Bush Turnpike.
Joe Harn, a department spokesman, tied the fatalities to a confirmed tornado that hit that area about 6:45 p.m.
