GUNTER, Texas - Severe weather overturned several RVs in Grayson County on Thursday night, fire officials said.
What we know:
Sheriff's deputies responded to an RV park in the 1000 block of Fox Lane in Gunter, about 50 miles north of Dallas, at about 8:30 p.m. They found significant damage to campers and mobile homes.
A Grayson County judge told FOX 4 that he believes a microburst, a sudden and powerful blast of wind dropping straight down from a thunderstorm, was to blame. Officials said gusty winds reached 60 mph in the area, but the damage was isolated to the park.
Six trailers were overturned and several other vehicles were damaged, fire department officials said. One injury was reported. It was not immediately known how many people were in each of the overturned trailers.
What they're saying:
"Knowing people were in those… that was our main concern in wanting to help," said Mindi Peery, a Gunter camper.
Crews are working to clean up the debris, and residents are being asked to stay out of the area.
