Residents are dealing with the aftermath of a storm that left severe damage to their cars, homes and churches.
The National Weather Service confirmed Thursday that an EF-0 tornado hit North Fort Worth, from U.S. 287 and West Bonds Ranch Road, to State Highway 170 and Alta Vista.
Dakoda Bybee said she was not expecting the extensive damage when her fiance called her Wednesday morning.
"'You might want to come down here, your car is smashed,'" she recalled him saying on the phone. "And I said, 'No, you're lying.' And it was."
Her car was one of four crushed when the brick facade of an apartment building in southwest Fort Worth crumbled during the storms overnight.
"I'm speechless. I really am speechless," Bybee said, looking at the damage. Somehow, Bybee said she slept through the violent storm that started some time around 2 a.m.
Miles away in Benbrook, Tonya Tew was jolted awake when her home took a brutal beating.
"I just started screaming, 'I think it was a tornado! I think it was a tornado!'" Tew said as she showed WFAA the damage to her home. "There was just this big boom, and it just felt like I was lifting, and I looked up and I could see the ceiling fan. It was coming down at me, and then it just went up."
What goes up, must come down.
"It looked like the wind caught a corner and just peeled it off like a coke top," pastor Zach Gryder said as he described the roof of HighRidge Church. "We have a roof hanging off the side of our building, and this is our entire worship center roof."
At HighRidge, on the Benbrook-Fort Worth border, the heavy-duty metal roof looked more like tin foil after the storm destroyed it.
"Oh yeah, the worship center’s soaked," Gryder said. "We just put carpet in a year ago, brand new carpet."
They shared drone video with WFAA, giving another perspective of the damage, which they began fixing immediately.
"We’ll be ready to rock and roll for Easter," Gryder said, adding a bit of optimism in the midst of a mid-week mess.
