Sean Hughes, the Parker County Emergency Management coordinator said they're working with the National Weather Center to determine what caused the damage. They believe so far it was possibly straight-line winds, which were between 75 and 80 miles per hour.
"We heard all kinds of things blowing around, but we couldn't open doors or windows, there was just too much pressure," said Alicia Cleveland, a neighbor he had had minor damage. "We had no power, it was out gone and the wind just blew and blew and we're looking at our window and the wind was horizontal."
Hughes said much of the damage was north and east of Weatherford proper near Enchanted Rock Circle, Friendship Rd. and FM 920. It included downed power lines and trees.
