Texas Reeling as 'Crippling' Blizzard to Follow Deadly Tornadoes

Eight people were killed in Garland, which was hit by what Ari Sarsalari, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel, called "a violent tornado with a long path." "It was terrifying," Randy Gore, who drove up to an impact scene where five people were killed, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. "It was heartbreaking, especially being the day after Christmas." Officials in Collin County confirmed three deaths, two of them at a Copeville gas station that was destroyed in the storms. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/texas-reeling-crippling-blizzard-follow-deadly-tornadoes-n486371
