DALLAS — North Texans were hit with a round of severe weather, which included large hail and heavy rain, on Sunday night
Just before 5 p.m. a severe thunderstorm watch was issued for most of North Texas, including Dallas and Tarrant counties. By 6:30 p.m., a line of severe storms moved in quickly, bringing high winds and up to baseball-sized hail for cities like Rockwall, Plano and Royse City.
Around 8:30 p.m. severe thunderstorm sirens began blaring in Collin County due to the large hail storm.
Several residents contacted WFAA to report hail damage to vehicles and homes Sunday night.
Heavy rain and lightning also were threats and thousands of customers were without power.
There were nearly 40,000 customers without power, according to the Oncor outage map, on Sunday night.
Heavy rain also caused some localized flooding issues in Dallas. According to Dallas-Fire Rescue, crews have responded to four high-water calls, one water rescue, 38 downed utility wires and 22 major accidents.
Flower Mound family describes chaos
The Vega family took cover from large hail at their Flower Mound home on Sunday night.
"My brother told me for like, of, like gunshots, you know, like someone like bombs, just hitting the ceiling over and over again," said Juan Vega.
"It was crazy. Nobody expected it because it was literally around four it was a really sunny, like 90 degrees. And all of a sudden it just turns cloudy, starts raining, and then it hails," he added.
For Juan and his family, it wasn't just normal hail falling this time -- they got hit with golf ball and baseball-size hail.
Juan showed WFAA the hail damage to his father's car. The entire back window is busted out. Hail also busted out the sunroof on their family van.
What's worse is that Juan's mother and father spent Monday measuring windows. Hail broke out three of their windows on their home as they took cover inside.
"My little sister, she started crying," Juan said. "My dad was just there telling her to calm down."
Still, after going through Sunday's hail, Juan and his entire family are grateful and shared what's more important to them.
"Most important part, that everybody was safe," said Juan. "Nobody had to go to the hospital."
