Heavy tornadoes hit North Texas overnight, killing at least people, CNN reported. Rescue crews searched Thursday in hopes of finding seven more missing people.
"We're still working to identify people," Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds told reporters about the deaths.
The six deaths were in a Habitat for Humanity neighborhood of about 110 homes called the Rancho Brazos subdivision, Deeds said. Three people were taken to an area hospital, and 13 others were taken to hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

"They were probably 75 homes in [the Rancho Brazos] subdivision that are totally destroyed," Deeds said. We haven't had a bad one like this for a while."
