North Texas was slammed by several reported tornadoes, leaving a trail of damage to homes and some schools. Governor Abbott addressed the damage Monday night at a press conference in Williamson County. Jacksboro High Principal Starla Sanders said she was made aware the storm was turning severe just after 3 p.m. So she let the 300 high schoolers who could drive leave early. But the bus riders and all staff were forced to take shelter. "It just brought tears to my eyes. I have lived here for 15 years, and I love this place. It is hard," she said. "Haven’t seen, but I hear I don’t have a roof on my own house. My kids are safe, and my husband is safe and all the students are safe.
The fire chief says there also reported property damage at the gas plant off Highway 59 just south of Bowie.
