A tornado struck the town of Denton, Texas earlier today, which is roughly 40 miles northwest of Dallas, with reports of damaged roofs and uprooted trees now coming in. Some photos and video from the scene:

So far there are no reports of injuries in today’s outbreak of severe weather, but a tornado near Cisco, Texas yesterday killed a woman and injured three others.
Everybody — including kangaroos — stay safe!
