An EF-1 tornado touched down in Irving, Texas earlier this week, heavily damaging buildings in the area and bringing down power lines.

The National Weather Service in Fort Worth sent a team that determined the damage in Irving was caused by at least one tornado.

DALLAS - Wind gusts that topped 70 miles per hour caused damage in parts of North Texas early Tuesday morning. Those high winds caused nearly 300,000 power outages, mostly in Dallas, Tarrant, and Denton counties, around 6 a.m. according to Oncor. Those numbers have since dropped.

A few hours before Tuesday’s dawn, emergency sirens sounded in Irving, waking Jocelyin Ramirez. She looked outside her apartment, where she has lived for the past 12 years, and saw high winds take down a power line.

The Ramirez family is picking up the pieces after a powerful tornado ripped through their Irving, Texas, neighborhood. A GoFundMe page has been established to help them find a new apartment and replace necessities.
