Severe night storms hit North Texas with 80 mph winds, causing widespread damage
Clean up, repairs begin after night of storms in North Texas
Clean up, repairs begin after night of storms in North Texas
Sunday night's storm had winds around 80 mph, dangerous conditions that caused massive amounts of damage across the entire metroplex.
One of the hardest-hit places was Bonham, where wind and rain caused trees to hit homes and power lines all over town.
Sunday night's storm was downright scary, just ask Preston Curry.
"I was about to cry because, like, I don't, I'm scared of the dark," said Curry.
He slept on the floor in his parents' room. He wasn't the only one feeling that way.
"All around me. The house right across the street has had a tree. So tall, big old tree. And it's uprooted," said Philip Blander.
Blander said he woke up to debris covering his street after the storm subsided.
"I had an appointment in Sherman today at 10:30 a.m., and I couldn't hardly get out," he said.
Nothing hit his house, but his friend David Johnson wasn't as lucky.
"This morning, we went out there. Look, half of it split, and it fell in the yard. The other half fell all over there toward my kitchen, on top of the roof," said Johnson.
A metal roof was completely ripped off a building downtown near the post office. While it took out a power line, somehow no one was hurt.
That's something everyone we spoke to said they were thankful for.
"I'm just glad that I survived this," said Blander.
"Not lucky. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Yeah. I'm blessed ... And I'm just glad nobody was hurt," said Johnson.

Pittsburgh could see isolated thunderstorms before a dry and comfortable 4th of July
Thursday morning begins on a seasonably mild note across all of Western Pennsylvania and Northern West Virginia. Skies are mostly clear to partly cloudy, with more clouds and even a few isolated showers around our I-80 counties. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos These clouds and showers are part of a weak but fast-moving upper-level disturbance and cold front that will move across our region later today. High temperatures and rain chances on Thursday, July 3 KDKA Weather Center The strongest lift and jet stream winds with this system will likely pass northeast of Pittsburgh into Central Pennsylvania, but this will still be close enough to give us a chance for some isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Sufficient instability and some wind shear will support a risk of hail and strong downburst winds with one or two cells that are really able to pulse up. Timing for potential severe weather KDKA Weather Center Storm coverage will diminish as the front passes by this evening, and with a loss of daytime heating. Low temperatures on Thursday, July 3, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Overnight into Friday, skies will clear out and temperatures will be seasonable for the Fourth. No weather issues are expected for those who are doing outdoor activities or watching fireworks. High temperatures on the Fourth of July KDKA Weather Center By Saturday, as high pressure moves east and winds shift to the southwest, we expect a warmer and more humid air mass to move in. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 80s to near 90, with the most likely days to see 90+ highs on Sunday and Monday as well. The heat dome that builds in this weekend will not be as strong or long-lived compared to the one last week, so this stretch of 90s will be brief and eventually capped off with a chance of storms late Monday afternoon into Tuesday. As always, any summer storms will be capable of producing downburst winds and small hail. Our pattern will remain slightly unsettled with daily low storm chances into the middle of next week. 7-day forecast: July 3, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!

Before the sultry weather reaches the Eastern Seaboard, high heat and record-warm nights will hit the Plains and Midwest, where Detroit could near triple digits on Sunday.
