On the night of October 21, 2019, a tornado struck Dallas, Texas. At daylight break, rescue workers searched through the rubble to find survivors. Planes were evacuated from the Memphis Airport. As of 8:00 AM on the Monday of October 21, 2019, 242,000 people were without power. According to Weather.com, "The Dallas Independent School District canceled Monday classes at six schools: David G. Burnet Elementary School, Leonides Gonzalez Cigarroa Elementary School, John J. Pershing Elementary School, Walnut Hill Elementary School, Edward H. Cary Middle School and Thomas Jefferson High School. The Episcopal School of Dallas also canceled classes. The schools are all in northwest Dallas. Schools were also closed in Garland, Grand Prairie, Midlothian and Richardson." Many roads into Dallas are closed due to fallen trees and power lines.
