Massive tornado hits town of Rhome
A trail of damage was left behind by tornadoes in Wise County. The town of Rhome was hit hard, with some residents waking up homeless.
The EF-1 twister tore Greg and Nanette Pickenpaws' home apart, but they say they feel lucky to have their lives. Twisted metal, broken wood, even a refrigerator, were found toppled on the ground. Personal belongings were left out in the open, spread across the grass. The Pickenpaws say they've never experienced a storm like this in the 20 years they've lived in Rhome.
The NWS sent out teams to Wise County, as well as Northwest Denton County, to survey the damage Friday morning.
