Across the freeway at the Sanger/Denton North KOA at McClain's Longhorn RV, damages were reported to RVs, Denton County said. One woman was taken to Denton Presbyterian Hospital with critical injuries. She was later pronounced dead, Denton County officials confirmed.

Trees were uprooted and power went out, leaving residents in the dark. Neighbors said they were fighting just to get through the night, huddled up, listening to their RVs shake in the wind. Hail up to two inches in diameter and wind gusts up to 65 mph were recorded, Denton Coutny said. Structures sustained roof and window damage, trees were downed across roadways and neighborhoods, and multiple power outages were reported. Utility crews responded throughout the evening to restore service.
