Tornadoes reportedly ripped through Texas over the weekend, killing at least two people and destroying multiple homes.

A powerful supercell passed through north Texas on April 25, spawning two tornadoes in Wise and Parker counties, according to the National Weather Service in Dallas. One person died in both Wise and Parker counties, but the NWS noted that one of the deaths was related to very strong winds and the person was not in the path of the tornado.

Both tornadoes struck the area shortly after 9 p.m. local time on April 25, and were classified as EF-1 (estimated winds of 165 mph) and EF-2 (estimated winds of 130 mph), according to preliminary damage assessments by the NWS.

In addition to the dead, six people were treated for injuries and dozens of families were evacuated, NBC DFW reported.
