Intense hailstorm batters Dallas-Fort Worth region, damaging cars and houses, Texas
Intense hailstorms battered much of northern Texas from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, March 25–26, 2025, causing damage to multiple vehicles and homes.
Quarter- to egg-sized hail and strong wind gusts were reported across the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex, affecting cities such as Mesquite, Balch Springs, Hutchins, Allen, McKinney, and Sherman.
The hail has reportedly damaged multiple vehicles across the region, with many reporting window damages as well.
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Fort Worth received nearly 50 hail reports, with the largest—measuring 51 mm (2 inches)—reported in Allen, while Dallas saw hail up to 45 mm (1.75 inches).
