As the storms blew through just after 5 a.m., Denton County Emergency Services District No. 1 was dispatched to an overturned tractor trailer. One patient was extricated and had minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital. I-35W was shut down southbound before FM 1171 until around 7:40 a.m. During this storm, Denton County ESD 1 crews also responded to five citizen assist calls for downed trees blocking roadways and three downed power lines, a spokesperson said.
The National Weather Service had issued a Tornado Watch for Denton County, but it was canceled at 6:40 a.m. A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 9 p.m. for west to southwest winds from 20 mph to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.
Due to the weather, bus routes in Argyle ISD are delayed, and Northwest ISD will be operating on a two-hour delay. Several Lewisville ISD campuses experienced network and/or power issues due to the severe weather, but the school day continued as normal.
