A tornado, first spotted near Love Field at about 9 p.m. Sunday, passed through our neighborhood on a northeastern trajectory, uprooting trees and ripping off roofs in Preston Hollow.
Residents in the Northcrest area were left on the sidewalk, with dogs and overnight bags in tow, their homes and cars damaged, according to the TV station’s coverage. They showed Preston Hollow residents having to cross over downed power poles, carrying their dogs, to get out of their home for the night.
