DALLAS, Texas The National Weather Service is investigating storm damage in North Dallas that may have been caused by a weak tornado that briefly touched down Sunday.
The damage in question is along Northaven Rd., near North Haven Gardens, just west of US-75.
The area is all too familiar with storm damage after multiple houses were torn to shreds in October 2019 when ten tornadoes danced across Dallas, causing more than a billion dollars in damage.
