Latest News About Fort Worth Tornado

The most recent reports I found are from late April 2026, when tornado-warned storms hit North Texas and caused damage northwest of Fort Worth, including Runaway Bay and Springtown. One report said at least 1 person was killed and 6 others were injured, while another later report said the death toll reached at least 2 and that an EF-2 tornado with peak winds of 135 mph was confirmed in Runaway Bay.[1][2]

Fort Worth area impact

Fort Worth itself saw severe flooding during the same storm system, including a car trapped in floodwater on the southwest side of the city. The severe weather threat also included tornado warnings, large hail, and damaging winds across parts of Tarrant County and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area.[5][1]

What happened nearby

Runaway Bay, about 45 miles northwest of Fort Worth, was one of the hardest-hit areas, with significant damage, displaced families, and an emergency reunification center set up for residents. Springtown also reported damage from an apparent tornado, and the National Weather Service later confirmed tornado tracks in the region.[2][1]

Current status

I did not find evidence in the latest sources that Fort Worth is under an active tornado warning right now, though the most recent weather pages show the area can still have alerts during storm seasons. If you want, I can narrow this down to either the storm damage update, the latest weather risk for Fort Worth, or school/road impacts.[8][9]
