Speaking at a press conference on Sunday morning, Garland Police Lt. Pedro Barineau said eight people had died in his county, and 15 had been taken to hospital with various injuries.
The deaths were caused by tornado-related traffic accidents near the intersection of Interstate 30 and the Bush Turnpike, Barineau said.
"As the sun comes up we will be able to see more but walking and driving through around Garland at the moment shows it is total devastation," he said.
About 600 buildings had been damaged by the tornadoes, he said.
