The National Weather Service will be in the Collin County town of Blue Ridge tomorrow to survey damage left behind from a tornado that touched down early Tuesday.
A boat was tossed into the air and now lodged against a fence with a whole lot of other debris – this storm moved so fast that residents say they barely had time to react. Reising can only now process the fear and loss he experienced.
The 80-year-old was on the porch of his northeast Collin County home this morning watching weather coverage when the wind suddenly picked up. "When I saw the wind get nasty, I went in the closet and it didn't happen about about a minute and half later, it was all gone," he said.His dog Chase had been outside and thankfully came running when he called her. "We have insurance, I'm sure most of it will be covered. If not, we'll just eat it," he continued.
From the air, you can see the storm's trail of destruction that led all the way up to Blue Ridge High School. Students were safely sheltered inside but the football field only a few feet away was in the path and sustained damage. We found the Isaacks family picking up debris around dozens of broken and toppled headstones, some more than 120 years old. The Isaacs moved to this rural area away from DFW last year and have already had close calls in Blue Ridge with two tornadoes.
