On March 21 seven tornadoes hit Texas, three of them here in Cass County causing downed trees, power outages and major structural damage. The National Weather Service in Shreveport LA updated their reporting to note that in Cass County that of the three tornadoes one was an EF2 and two were EF1s. It has been reported eight people were injured, but no loss of life. Here in Cass County one lady was reported trapped but was able to free herself and drive to the hospital. However later it was reported that a Grayson County Woman, 73, was killed by the storm. The storm also shutdown Graphic Packaging that supplies water to Atlanta. This caused a reduction in water supply and created a boiling order, and a cancelled school day for Atlanta.
