Two powerful tornado supercells have hit Dallas and Forth Worth, Texas on Tuesday afternoon.Hail as huge as tennis balls also slammed the ravaged area.

Seen on CNN Television Live, huge tractor trailers and homes are strewn and broken everywhere, tossed around like toys by the massive swirling winds. Trailer tractors that weighed over 14 hundred tons were mangled like paper. Widespread damage is being reported. Some places reportedly received about 40-45 minutes to evacuate but other areas weren't as lucky, slammed within as little as 3 minutes after the warnings.

Homes can be seen completely destroyed while others close by were left surprisingly intact. The county of Cleburne has reportedly suffered extensive damage and over 300 buildings have been destroyed in Lancaster. One resident described the terrifying experience like being in the Wizard of Oz. She was clearly still shaken as she was seen on televison thanking God for keeping her safe. A little girl returning home from the school shelter, saw her home for the first time and started to cry because she was surrounded by houses that looked dramatically different to when she left for school that morning. Roofs and entire walls were missing in many. Some were even in worse shape.

Ground transportation is down and the Dallas Fort Worth Airport is reportedly on limited operation. 110 planes were damaged and 400 flights cancelled. DFW is a hub for American Airlines and they have cancelled all flights in and out of the area.

The cost of the combined damages and loss of revenue is not yet known but may run in the millions. Speaking on CNN, Sheriff Lupe Valdez said there were no fatalities at this time but emergency teams are still going from house to house assessing the damages.

Dallas, Fort Worth are now under a State of Emergency and a tornado watch is still in place as more storms are predicted for North Texas later tonight.
