An EF-1 tornado touched down in Irving, Texas earlier this week, heavily damaging buildings in the area and bringing down power lines.

Much of North Texas remained under a severe thunderstorm warning and a thunderstorm watch Tuesday morning as high winds and heavy rain pummeled the region. The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office extended the thunderstorm warning to 6:30 a.m., while the tornado watch was in effect until 11 a.m.

In the wake of Tuesday's devastating storms, the National Weather Service has identified a second EF-1 tornado in North Texas. Early Wednesday morning, a survey team arrived in Wise County and discovered a narrow path of destruction near Cottondale,

A few hours before Tuesday’s dawn, emergency sirens sounded in Irving, waking Jocelyin Ramirez. She looked outside her apartment, where she has lived for the past 12 years, and saw high winds take down a power line.

The Ramirez family is picking up the pieces after a powerful tornado ripped through their Irving, Texas, neighborhood. A GoFundMe page has been established to help them find a new apartment and replace necessities.

Students and families displaced by Tuesday’s tornado in Irving are receiving some much-needed assistance as the cleanup and recovery continue.
