A long night of severe weather became a long cleanup day for many neighbors in western Tarrant County.
Neighbors in Fort Worth's Edge Park neighborhood dealt with flooded homes. Despite some building damage, the school remained in session at Western Hills High School.
In White Settlement, Police Chief Christopher Cook said wind was the main culprit, wreaking havoc on the little town and downing six power poles, four of them in one RV park on North Cherry Lane. “It was like fireworks coming all the way out here into the road, you were being hit with sparks," she added.“Everybody had to get out because of the flames that was shooting out of the trees, and the tree caught on fire about five times last night," she said."It was an extremely long night. I have had no sleep, yet. Then, we dealt with flooding: The park was flooded, the roads were flooded.
