A day after severe storms pummeled North Texas, some Denton County residents remained without power Thursday, while other residents and emergency officials worked to assess the weather’s toll.

More severe storms were possible overnight Thursday, and today’s forecast includes a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms in Denton, according to the National Weather Service. Denton County received between 1 and 2 inches of rain overnight Wednesday, and straight-line winds leveled trees and power lines and damaged homes and vehicles throughout the area.

A report of a tornado touching down near Flower Mound on Wednesday night was still unconfirmed Thursday, said Jesse Moore, a weather service meteorologist.

The heaviest rain Thursday was just south of the county. Between 2 and 7 inches had fallen in Dallas County within 24 hours, resulting in major flooding and multiple high-water rescues, Moore said.

No injuries were reported in Denton County, but reports of wind and water damage and power outages were widespread.

About a third of Roanoke and a quarter of Trophy Club remained without power late Thursday afternoon, and sporadic outages were reported in other cities, said Jody Gonzalez, Denton County’s emergency management coordinator. About 1,500 Lewisville residents still lacked power, city officials reported.

In Denton, about 2,800 customers of Denton Municipal Electric were without electricity at various times, but power was fully restored by about 2:30 a.m. Thursday, said Lisa Lemons, a DME spokeswoman.

“We had isolated power outages all across town,” Lemons said. “It was limbs on lines, breakers tripping — the kind of stuff that you get with a pretty large-scale storm.”

Just southwest of Denton, Andrew Sewell said he needed to buy water for his horses Thursday morning because power had been out all night. He said about 30 homes in his area were without power.

With weather equipment he owns, he clocked winds at 63 mph during Wednesday night’s storm, he said.

By 2 p.m. Thursday, State Farm Insurance in Denton had received about 2,000 claims, mostly from Denton and northern Tarrant counties, agent Matt Portz said.

“I started getting personal calls [Wednesday] night about 7 o’clock, and that’s continued throughout most of today,” Portz said. “The types of claims we’re seeing are tree damage, roof damage, fence damage. I had one case [in Argyle] where the wind blew a boat from a guy’s driveway into his home.”

Nine buildings at Texas Woman’s University sustained some water damage, said Amanda Simpson, spokeswoman for the university.

For example, wind-driven rain leaked through the roof at Pioneer Hall; a crew cleaned up the water and put in place fans and dehumidifiers to dry out the area.

Also, rain and wind broke a window at the university’s Classroom and Faculty Office Building, causing some water damage in that building.

Some Lewisville residents were displaced Wednesday night when the storm damaged the roof and caved in a wall at the Villas at Waterchase apartments at Main and Old Orchard streets, Gonzalez said.

Residents of 16 units of the complex were relocated to other units or motel rooms with help from the American Red Cross, Gonzalez said. A Trophy Club family also spent the night in a motel after fallen tree limbs damaged electrical connections to their home, he said.

Lewisville’s Visitor Information Center suffered major flooding and roof damage, which will permanently close the facility, according to a city news release. The offices will move to the third floor of Lewisville City Hall. Other facilities, including the Lewisville library, police department and animal shelter, sustained minor structural damage but remain open, according to the city.

Lewisville officials were asking residents to move storm debris to their front curbs for pickup within two weeks. The city also set up large trash bins at eight locations to accept debris. For a list of locations, visit www.cityoflewisville.com.
