PERRYTON, Texas — Families all across Perryton are in need after a tornado leveled the Texas Panhandle town Thursday night.
The tornado caused widespread damage and killed three people, while injuring more than 100 others.
Damage included multiple businesses in the downtown area, as well as a trailer park, homes and vehicles.
