Here is what the Dallas Cowboy Complex looked like prior to being collapsed by strong thunderstorm winds. Nearby winds were measured at 64 mph. Estimated winds were likely in the neighborhood of 75 mph.
Initially the storm damage was thought to have been caused by a tornado. There were no funnel sightings at the time. Meteorologists believe the winds were the result of a microburst or a strong downdraft associated with thunderstorms.
Take Severe Thunderstorm Warnings seriously. This season, the National Weather Service will issue warnings for storms with the potential to produce one inch diameter hail (up from three quarter inch) or greater and winds of 58 mph or greater.
