One tornado that occurred locally

Granbury,TX 2013

GRANBURY, Texas — Authorities in north Texas sifted through the rubble Thursday left by the nation's most violent and deadly outburst of tornadoes in more than a year.

The storms left at least six people dead, dozens injured and scores of homes flattened.

Richland Hills Police Detective Tye Bell, an incident spokesman, said nearly 100 homes were destroyed and 250 people displaced by one twister that struck the subdivision of Rancho Brazos near Granbury, about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

Damage to the subdivision reminded Bell of the destruction caused by the deadly tornadoes that struck Joplin, Mo., two years ago, though on a smaller scale. The Joplin tornado killed more than 150 people.

Ten storms leave at least six people dead, dozens injured and scores of homes destroyed.
