Six Dead, 100 Injured After Tornadoes Ravage North Texas

A mile-wide tornado devastated the area around Granbury, Texas, last night. It's still unclear how much damage the storm has actually done, and the sheriff's department is saying fatality numbers could climb higher.

Yesterday afternoon, fog crept in over Dallas.

Around the same time, clouds were gathering in Millsap, Texas.
