Bank collapses after storms roll through North Texas

The Collin County Sheriff's Office told WFAA there were no injuries reported in the roof collapse.

LAVON, Texas — The roof of a bank in Collin County collapsed after storms rolled through North Texas.

The bank, an Independent Financial located in Lavon, Texas, had significant damage to its drive-thru portion of the building due to strong winds, officials said. The Collin County Sheriff's Office told WFAA there were no injuries reported in the roof collapse.

The Lavon Fire Department and three officers responded to the scene.

Northeastern portions of Collin County did have a Tornado Warning issued around 10:15 p.m. on Thursday night, but it is not confirmed that the damage to the bank is tornado-related. Lavon, which lies in the southeastern section of Collin County, was not part of that issued Tornado Warning. 

WFAA Meteorologist Pete Delkus said Friday he's confident the bank's damage came from straight line winds combined with structural issues of the bank. 

The bank told WFAA it was following its normal protocols to notify customers of the interruption in service.  

More details were not immediately available.
