Suspected tornado tears off roofs, splits trees, levels fences in Weatherford neighborhood
A possible tornado tore through a Parker County neighborhood late Saturday evening, leaving mounds of debris behind and residents to pick up the pieces of their homes Sunday.
A roof was completely torn off a home and ended up in another home's driveway. The people who live there said they're unable to leave because their car is trapped in the garage with their neighbor's roof in front of it.
"It looks like something almost took a bite out of the roof. I'm still kind of in awe and kind of in shock as I continue to walk around and look at everything," Ann-Marie Shallcross said.
She assessed the damage to her home and remained shell-shocked to see all the destruction around her.
"I think this is my furniture over here," Shallcross said. "Oh, there's another part of the chair right there. My fence is down, and just looking at it for the first time, the posts are just completely bent over, not even broken or pulled up, just bent over completely."
Kristen Dunn and her family went to their safe spot after getting tornado warnings on their phones.
"We went into the closet in the master bedroom. Five of us went in there. We brought helmets for the kids. We padded it with some mattresses," Dunn said. "We did hear one really loud rumble, and I think that's when that roof came off."
"I thought somebody was going to be dead. That's what I was afraid of," Zane Nixon said.
Nixon owns multiple homes along Johnson Bend Road, built last summer.
"All the concentration is on how to get people out here on Easter Sunday and just start getting the people that can stay in their homes, dry where they don't have water coming in when it starts raining later," Nixon said.
Shallcross knows houses can be rebuilt.
"It's this whole street. They're brand new," she said.
She spends this Easter Sunday thankful and amazed that no one was hurt.
The National Weather Service will be in the neighborhood Monday to survey the damage and determine if a tornado touched down.

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival Canceled amid Severe Weather
Bonnaroo has been canceled amid severe weather in Manchester, Tenn. Festival goers are eligible for refunds The festival was evacuated at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, June 13Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival has been canceled due to reports of severe weather. The festival, held in Manchester, Tenn., was called off for the remainder of the weekend on Friday, June 13. Rolling Stone was first to report the news. Bonnaroo kicked off on Thursday, June 12, hosting Luke Combs, Dom Dolla, and more on its first day of performances. Centeroo, the main area of the festival, was evacuated at 1:30 p.m. CT, per The Tennessean. 'We are beyond gutted, but we must make the safest decision and cancel the remainder of Bonnaroo,' a push alert from the festival app read. A statement on the festival site continued, 'Today, the National Weather Service provided us with an updated forecast with significant and steady precipitation that will produce deteriorating camping and egress conditions in the coming days." 'We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let's start with the next steps." The statement continued, "The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience. Some of your fellow campers' sites are in rough shape. The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage." "We'd like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off The Farm as soon as possible this evening," read the statement. "To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you're in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we'll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow." The festival organizers concluded, "We will continue to operate as usual in Outeroo including food vendors and all health and safety infrastructure. We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision. Thank you in advance for your patience, your positivity and your unfailing Bonnaroovian spirit.'
