Severe weather struck Gunter, a town located approximately 10 miles west of Van Alstyne, causing notable destruction to local property. The Grayson County Sheriff's Office reported that a severe weather event resulted in significant damage along the 1000 block of Fox Lane. This area is home to the Good Shepherd RV Park and Storage facility.
According to the sheriff's office, several campers and mobile homes were flipped over during the incident. The specific cause of the weather event, such as wind speed or hail size, was not detailed in the initial report, though the damage suggests intense conditions.
While the sheriff's office confirmed the physical damage to the RV park and vehicles, further details regarding injuries, financial costs, or the exact timeline of the storm's passage through Gunter were not provided in the available information. Authorities have not yet released a full assessment of the total losses incurred by the park or its residents.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of severe weather affecting North Texas. Reports indicate that multiple tornadoes, massive hail, and damaging winds have torn through the region, leaving injuries and major destruction in their wake. The National Weather Service noted that tornadoes in the area ranged in severity from EF-0 to EF-2.
Other communities in the region have also faced significant challenges. In Wise and Parker counties, authorities confirmed two storm-related deaths. Residents in Springtown and Runaway Bay are grieving after deadly weekend storms claimed two lives. Runaway Bay Mayor Herman White stated that a deadly tornado hit the edges of the town's southwestern, western, and northern corners.
