Severe storm moving through the US as seen on radar.

As the sun rose over Texas on Tuesday morning, a weather radar captured a destructive storm system barreling through the state. This massive and intense storm was accompanied by tornadoes, which tragically claimed the lives of 23 people. The radar update on the storm painted a daunting picture, with mostly red and orange colors dominating the screen and a few patches of green mixed in. The storm was moving southeast, passing through cities such as Lewisville, Carrollton, McKinney, Plano, Garland, Irving, and Dallas.

According to the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth/Dallas, winds of up to 80mph were recorded, and there was a possibility of large hail. The storm was moving quickly, and a tornado warning was still in effect for the Sunnyvale area. The destructive force of this storm was felt throughout Texas, as it brought 80mph winds and hail across the state on Tuesday.

In Dallas, the Rainbow Hardware store fell victim to the storm's fury, as its roof was ripped off by the powerful winds. The parking lot was littered with debris, and the scene was chaotic. The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth/Dallas issued a warning, urging people to take cover immediately.

The storm system didn't just wreak havoc in Texas, as it continued to move across the central and southern regions of America over Memorial Day weekend. With 11 reported tornadoes and over 400,000 residents losing power in seven states, this storm was the most active severe weather event of the year so far, according to CNN and The Independent.

As the storm extended into Tuesday, a severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for most of North Texas until 11am. The Northeast, including New York City, was also hit by thunderstorms and high winds on Monday. Meanwhile, some states, including Texas, were still under severe weather warnings on Tuesday.

In Valley View, Texas, two women experienced the terror of being caught in a tornado while driving on Saturday night. Valenia Gill and Brenda Proctor Dance had just left a singer's show when the storm hit. With rain and hail battering their car, they found themselves in the middle of a tornado. Shaken and scared, Gill shouted to Dance for guidance. The women were able to drive away safely, but the experience left them with a pressure headache.

As the storm passed, Garland police were forced to block traffic due to a downed power line, and videos shared on social media captured the intense wind and rain. Despite the chaos and destruction, Dance expressed her gratitude for making it through the ordeal and returning home safely.
