DALLAS, May 15 (Reuters) - At least six people were killed and about 100 injured on Wednesday as three tornadoes ripped through a stretch of Texas near the Dallas-Fort Worth area, destroying a number of homes, authorities said.
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said six storm-related fatalities had been confirmed so far and the death toll could climb as search and rescue teams comb through the damage.
Matt Zavadsky, a spokesman for MedStar Mobile Healthcare, an agency that provides ambulance service to the region, said about 100 people were injured in a twister that struck an area around Granbury, a town about 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
