Gladewater, Kilgore, and Longview took a major beating last night.. trees blown over everywhere, high lines down, poles snapped … electricity out in half the cities.. no place to eat , get gas, or eat.. Traffic lights out, traffic jams.. folks sweating in their homes or sitting outside.. what a mess. Heard winds hit 70 mph last night.. lots of chain saws busy.







Dead ends in every direction in Gladewater







Counted 40+ vehicles at this place that had electricity.. Hope 1Shot is ok..

Yup, spoke with my family out there and they’ve been without power all day. It’s a mess for sure.

Dang that sucks in this heat/humidity hope they get it restored ASAP.

My front yard just north of Mineola. I estimate 60 to 70 mph winds or more. Got pretty scary last night. Lost power for 13 plus hours. Got lucky on the power deal compared to a lot of other folks.

Ouch! Looks like Temple did after last winters storm. They didn't get all our downed trees cleared up until 1st week in May.

Turrible

Our power here was out for 12 hrs. Luckily I have a generator that can run the fridge, freezers, and a window unit in a bedroom. Oncor said some people won't get theirs back until today.

Any damage in the van-Ben Wheeler metro area?

We now have an estimated date of being back on the grid between June 22 and 23rd

Sorry to see this. I hope some folks around you have a generator.

it got my boat storage at fork, trailer is fine so is the boat but the roof over my boat is gone. no power still and probably be a week or so till it is back up.

Yep Hop, time to move the boat. Glad you had no damage on it. Cheers

there are trees/powerlines down starting about 5 mi. s of paris all the way to fork.

was heaviest north of sulphur springs, about a 2 mile stretch there was a lot of tree/powerline damage.

I didn't know the impact was that significant...

Glad it sounds like everyone was alright.

Yall stay strong.

Got family north east of hallsville they have no power since storm blew through.
