DALLAS - Severe storms in North Texas on Sunday night brought damaging winds and heavy rains.
The storms caused significant damage in areas like Fannin County and flooding issues in Dallas County.
They also led to thousands of power outages across the region.
Fannin County Storm Damage
High winds damage homes, businesses in North Texas
Some people in North Texas are cleaning up after high winds caused damage overnight. At the Braum's in Bonham, part of the restaurant's roof was ripped off.
Some areas across North Texas saw 60-80 mph winds.
In Bonham, which is about 70 miles northeast of Dallas in Fannin County, high winds ripped part of the roof off the Braum’s restaurant on State Highway 121.
Debris and insulation from the building was scattered throughout the parking lot on Monday morning.
"This is the second time this restaurant has been devastated by a weather event, so it's not uncommon for this area. Fannin County seems to be a hot spot for storms," said Andrew Gleech, a Trenton resident. "We are pretty resilient around here. We make it through."
Braum's workers are now cleaning up the mess and hope to reopen for business later in the day.
The city of Bonham released a statement saying it activated the outdoor warning system to warn residents about the high winds.
There are reports of significant storm damage to trees, homes, and businesses throughout the city. City crews are working to clean up the mess.
Thankfully, there were no reports of any serious injuries.
