Deeds said Thursday morning that all of the dead were adults and were in Ranchos Brazos. Another 37 people were injured, with about 100 homes flattened, damaged or destroyed. Separate tornadoes and strong winds near Ennis and Cleburne, where a tornado more than half a mile wide has been confirmed by the National Weather Service, destroyed homes, but no one died.

After a daylong survey, the National Weather Service has confirmed 13 tornadoes, from Montague County down to Ennis in Ellis County.

Although up to seven people are still missing in Granbury, officials said they believe they probably aren't trapped in the rubble and simply haven't notified authorities of their whereabouts. Nonetheless, emergency responders still plan to continue searching the flattened homes."
