COVID Update. Dallas County reported 455 new cases and eight deaths yesterday (remember that’s a two-day total, because the county doesn’t report on Sundays). For the past two weeks, the average number of new daily cases in the county is 240; for the previous two-week period, the average was 263. Get vaccinated!

It’s unclear if a tornado did that or if it was straight-line wind. (Am I the only one who thinks of Cardi B every time Fox 4 talks about its weather app, aka its WAPP?)
