Fort Worth, Texas – On Friday, Texas put its emergency resources and employees on standby in preparation for the possibility of widespread severe weather, which has been forecasted for the Dallas-Fort Worth region as well as other areas of the state.

The majority of North Texas is said to be under an “Enhanced Threat” because there is a possibility for severe storms that might produce hail, powerful winds, and perhaps tornadoes, according to weather forecasters.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management has activated search-and-rescue teams from Texas A&M Task Force One and Task Force Two. This was done in response to an order from Governor Greg Abbott.
