"Resilient DFW: Storms, Legislation, and Hometown Triumphs in 140 Characters"
Hello Dallas-Fort Worth, I'm Morgan Riley with your local news update for Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
Word on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth is that we're still recovering from those severe storms that rolled through North Texas overnight Sunday into Monday. Significant damage has been reported in several areas, and crews have been working around the clock to restore power and clear debris. If you're still experiencing outages, local authorities recommend reporting them directly to your provider.
In other news, Texas lawmakers recently concluded their legislative session with several notable changes coming our way. The session wrapped up with a ban on phones in public schools, new restrictions on app stores, and updated cannabis regulations. These changes will likely impact many families and businesses across our region in the coming months.
A tragic incident occurred in Dallas when one person died and two Dallas police officers were injured following a chase and crash overnight last week. In a separate incident, seven people were injured in a shooting in South Dallas. Our thoughts are with all those affected by these events.
On a brighter note, North Dallas High School is celebrating one of their own this week. A recent graduate has won the Congressional App Challenge, showcasing the incredible talent and innovation coming from our local schools.
And if you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Dallas Museum of Art is featuring an exhibition rediscovering the works of artist Marisol. The Van Cliburn International Piano Competition is also underway, having just started its third and final round.
Don't forget that Juneteenth celebrations are coming up across the metroplex. You can participate in Opal's Walk for Freedom 2025 or check out one of the many other community events happening throughout the area.
Weather-wise, we're keeping an eye on conditions following those weekend storms. After the recent tornado outbreak in West Texas last week, our meteorologists are advising everyone to stay weather-aware, especially during evening hours when storms typically develop this time of year.
As we navigate these challenging news cycles, I'm reminded of how resilient our Dallas-Fort Worth community truly is. From supporting each other through storms to celebrating local achievements, we continue to show what makes this region special.
