The storms caused the most damage in an area that stretched from north of Dallas to the northwest tip of Arkansas. They started on Saturday evening local time and lasted into Sunday.
On Sunday, the poweroutages.us website reported that hundreds of thousands of people were without power in a broad portion of the United States, including in Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated at a press conference that a tornado that ripped through a rural area close to a mobile home park on Saturday night resulted in seven deaths in Cooke County, Texas, which is close to the Oklahoma border.
Two and five-year-old children were among the deceased, according to Cooke County Sheriff Ray Sappington, while other injuries were also recorded.
