The National Weather Service is expected to survey the damage and confirm whether a tornado touched down.

A house fire in Plano, in Collin County, may have been sparked by lightning during the storm.

It started around 9 p.m. in a neighborhood near Spring Creek Parkway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway.

Plano Fire-Rescue said the fire started somewhere on the roof of the home and heavily damaged the attic.

Firefighters had to attack the flames from outside because there were concerns the roof would collapse.

Thankfully, no one was injured.
