"Most of the neighborhood is heavily damaged to destroyed," he said. "Very little is untouched."

He said 37 people were treated at local hospital and 15 people, including two in critical condition, were transported to hospitals in Fort Worth. The injuries range from lost limbs to minor bumps and bruises,
