DFW storms: Damage, power outages, flight delays, other photos

Here's a rundown on DFW weather, power outages, storm damage, flight cancellations and delays and reader and viewer photos.

It's a Sunday in June in North Texas, so that means we're under a severe weather watch of some sort again. Tonight's severe thunderstorm watches and warnings have expired, but the storms have moved southeast of the metroplex.

Heavy rain and lightning were the main threats with the first round of storms, which hit the metroplex around 7:30-8 p.m.

The Dallas Code Compliance department will not issue citations for any brush and storm debris put out for pickup, the City said in a statement during the June 9 storms. That same statement applies today.

Bulk and brush pickup will continue for June, but the City is asking residents to limit bulk trash set-outs for the rest of the month if possible and only set out what is needed. 

Bulk collection for July will be limited to storm debris only. Regular bulk pickup will resume in August, the City said in a statement. 

If you live in Fort Worth and need any trees cleared, call 817-392-1234.

If you see a downed power line, do not approach it. Call 911 and report it and walk away.

Flight delays/cancellations

Most flights at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field have been temporarily grounded after "an undetermined problem" interrupted radio communications at DFW's Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) a little before 7:40 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

A statement from the FAA reads as follows:

"The DFW TRACON is a radar room that controls much of the airspace over North Texas, including all arrival and departure routes for the two major airports. This facility is different from the control towers.

"Air traffic controllers still have limited communications with inbound flights and are working to get those airplanes on the ground in advance of a rapidly moving line of thunderstorms to the northwest that is expected to reach the airport within the next hour or so. This storm had already caused a number of flight delays.

"The FAA is working to determine the source of the interruptions."

Dallas-Fort Worth International:

There is also a ground stop in effect for all flights due to weather. In addition, both Skylink loops were offline for a brief time earlier Sunday night due to unscheduled maintenance, according to a tweet from the airport's Twitter account.
