Storm-soaked roof collapse on Kingsley Road; no injuries reported
A line of intense storms dumped heavy rain across the Metroplex Wednesday into early Thursday, and a commercial roof collapse in Garland became one of the most serious local incidents. Fire crews responded to the 2900 block of West Kingsley Road after part of the roof gave way. Officials said everyone inside made it out safely, and the cause is being investigated.
If you are cleaning up today, keep an eye out for slick floors, sagging ceilings, and standing water near storm drains. City crews and first responders have urged residents to avoid driving through high water, since conditions can change quickly block to block.
Flash-flood alerts and flooded roadways linger into Thursday
Flooding remained a concern overnight as additional rounds of rain moved through North Texas. In Garland, the biggest impact has been travel delays and scattered trouble spots where water collected on streets and frontage roads. With more rain possible, officials continued to emphasize turning around rather than pushing through flooded intersections.
